Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nft_ct: sanitize layer 3 and 4 protocol number in custom expectations - Disallow families other than NFPROTO_{IPV4,IPV6,INET}.
- Disallow layer 4 protocol with no ports, since destination port is a mandatory attribute for this object.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: netfilter: nft_ct: desinfecta el número de protocolo de capa 3 y 4 en expectativas personalizadas - No permitir familias que no sean NFPROTO_{IPV4,IPV6,INET}. - No permitir el protocolo de capa 4 sin puertos, ya que el puerto de destino es un atributo obligatorio para este objeto.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nft_ct: sanitize layer 3 and 4 protocol number in custom expectations - Disallow families other than NFPROTO_{IPV4,IPV6,INET}. - Disallow layer 4 protocol with no ports, since destination port is a mandatory attribute for this object.

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.
