Descriptions

An issue was discovered in net/ceph/messenger_v2.c in the Linux kernel before 6.4.5. There is an integer signedness error, leading to a buffer overflow and remote code execution via HELLO or one of the AUTH frames. This occurs because of an untrusted length taken from a TCP packet in ceph_decode_32.

Se descubrió un problema en net/ceph/messenger_v2.c en el kernel de Linux anterior a 6.4.5. Hay un error de firma de enteros, lo que provoca un desbordamiento del búfer y la ejecución remota de código a través de HELLO o uno de los frames AUTH. Esto ocurre debido a una longitud no confiable tomada de un paquete TCP en ceph_decode_32.

An flaw was found in net/ceph/messenger_v2.c in the Linux Kernel. An integer signing error leads to a buffer overflow and remote code execution via HELLO or one of the AUTH frames. This issue occurs due to an untrusted length taken from a TCP packet in ceph_decode_32.

It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel contained a high rate of hash collisions in connection lookup table. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Daniël Trujillo, Johannes Wikner, and Kaveh Razavi discovered that some AMD processors utilising speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorised memory reads via a speculative side-channel attack. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information, including kernel memory.
