Descriptions
A use-after-free flaw was found in vmxnet3_rq_alloc_rx_buf in drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c in VMware's vmxnet3 ethernet NIC driver in the Linux Kernel. This issue could allow a local attacker to crash the system due to a double-free while cleaning up vmxnet3_rq_cleanup_all, which could also lead to a kernel information leak problem.
Se encontró una falla de use-after-free en vmxnet3_rq_alloc_rx_buf en drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c en el controlador NIC Ethernet vmxnet3 de VMware en el kernel de Linux. Este problema podría permitir que un atacante local bloquee el sistema debido a una doble liberación mientras se limpia vmxnet3_rq_cleanup_all, lo que también podría provocar un problema de fuga de información del kernel.
Daniel Moghimi discovered that some Intel Processors did not properly clear microarchitectural state after speculative execution of various instructions. A local unprivileged user could use this to obtain to sensitive information. Yang Lan discovered that the GFS2 file system implementation in the Linux kernel could attempt to dereference a null pointer in some situations. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious GFS2 image that, when mounted and operated on, could cause a denial of service.
