Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rtnetlink: Correct nested IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST attribute validation Each attribute inside a nested IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST is assumed to be a
struct ifla_vf_vlan_info so the size of such attribute needs to be at least
of sizeof(struct ifla_vf_vlan_info) which is 14 bytes.
The current size validation in do_setvfinfo is against NLA_HDRLEN (4 bytes)
which is less than sizeof(struct ifla_vf_vlan_info) so this validation
is not enough and a too small attribute might be cast to a
struct ifla_vf_vlan_info, this might result in an out of bands
read access when accessing the saved (casted) entry in ivvl.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: rtnetlink: Validación correcta del atributo IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST anidado. Se supone que cada atributo dentro de un IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST anidado es una estructura ifla_vf_vlan_info, por lo que el tamaño de dicho atributo debe ser al menos de sizeof(struct ifla_vf_vlan_info), que es de 14 bytes. La validación de tamaño actual en do_setvfinfo es contra NLA_HDRLEN (4 bytes), que es menor que sizeof(struct ifla_vf_vlan_info), por lo que esta validación no es suficiente y un atributo demasiado pequeño podría convertirse en una estructura ifla_vf_vlan_info, esto podría resultar en un acceso de lectura fuera de banda al acceder a la entrada guardada (transmitida) en ivvl.

Benedict Schlüter, Supraja Sridhara, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that an untrusted hypervisor could inject malicious #VC interrupts and compromise the security guarantees of AMD SEV-SNP. This flaw is known as WeSee. A local attacker in control of the hypervisor could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly execute arbitrary code in the trusted execution environment. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
