Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: discard table flag update with pending basechain deletion Hook unregistration is deferred to the commit phase, same occurs with
hook updates triggered by the table dormant flag. When both commands are
combined, this results in deleting a basechain while leaving its hook
still registered in the core.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: netfilter: nf_tables: descartar actualización del indicador de tabla con eliminación pendiente de la cadena base. La cancelación del registro del gancho se difiere hasta la fase de confirmación; lo mismo ocurre con las actualizaciones del gancho activadas por el indicador inactivo de la tabla. Cuando se combinan ambos comandos, esto da como resultado la eliminación de una cadena base y deja su gancho aún registrado en el núcleo.

Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. Gui-Dong Han discovered that the software RAID driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.
