CVE-2024-26602

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: sched/membarrier: reduce la capacidad de martillar en sys_membarrier. En algunos sistemas, sys_membarrier puede ser muy costoso, provocando ralentizaciones generales en todo. Por lo tanto, bloquee la ruta para serializar los accesos y evitar que se llame a una frecuencia demasiado alta y sature la máquina.

A flaw was found in sys_membarrier in the Linux kernel in sched/membarrier in how a user calls it at too high of a frequency. This flaw allows a local user to saturate the machine.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched/membarrier: reduce the ability to hammer on sys_membarrier On some systems, sys_membarrier can be very expensive, causing overall slowdowns for everything. So put a lock on the path in order to serialize the accesses to prevent the ability for this to be called at too high of a frequency and saturate the machine.

It was discovered that the Open vSwitch implementation in the Linux kernel could overflow its stack during recursive action operations under certain conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Sander Wiebing, Alvise de Faveri Tron, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida discovered that the Linux kernel mitigations for the initial Branch History Injection vulnerability were insufficient for Intel processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive information.
