Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nft_limit: reject configurations that cause integer overflow Reject bogus configs where internal token counter wraps around.
This only occurs with very very large requests, such as 17gbyte/s. Its better to reject this rather than having incorrect ratelimit.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: netfilter: nft_limit: rechazar configuraciones que causan desbordamiento de enteros Rechazar configuraciones falsas donde el contador de token interno se ajusta. Esto sólo ocurre con solicitudes muy grandes, como 17 gbytes/s. Es mejor rechazar esto en lugar de tener un límite de tasa incorrecto.

Alon Zahavi discovered that the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate H2C PDU data, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A remote 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.
