Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: fix data corruption in dsync block recovery for small block sizes The helper function nilfs_recovery_copy_block() of
nilfs_recovery_dsync_blocks(), which recovers data from logs created by
data sync writes during a mount after an unclean shutdown, incorrectly
calculates the on-page offset when copying repair data to the file's page
cache. In environments where the block size is smaller than the page
size, this flaw can cause data corruption and leak uninitialized memory
bytes during the recovery process. Fix these issues by correcting this byte offset calculation on the page.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: nilfs2: corrige la corrupción de datos en la recuperación de bloques dsync para tamaños de bloques pequeños La función auxiliar nilfs_recovery_copy_block() de nilfs_recovery_dsync_blocks(), que recupera datos de los registros creados por escrituras de sincronización de datos durante un montaje después un apagado incorrecto calcula incorrectamente el desplazamiento en la página al copiar los datos de reparación en la memoria caché de la página del archivo. En entornos donde el tamaño del bloque es menor que el tamaño de la página, esta falla puede causar corrupción de datos y pérdida de bytes de memoria no inicializados durante el proceso de recuperación. Solucione estos problemas corrigiendo este cálculo de desplazamiento de bytes en la página.

Fix these issues by correcting this byte offset calculation on the page.

It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the HugeTLB file system component of the Linux Kernel contained a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to to cause a denial of service.
