Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rcu-tasks: Fix show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread buffer overflow There is a possibility of buffer overflow in
show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread() if counters, passed
to sprintf() are huge. Counter numbers, needed for this
are unrealistically high, but buffer overflow is still
possible. Use snprintf() with buffer size instead of sprintf(). Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: rcu-tasks: Corrige show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread desbordamiento del búfer. Existe la posibilidad de que se produzca un desbordamiento del búfer en show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread() si los contadores pasados a sprintf() son enormes. Los números de contador necesarios para esto son excesivamente altos, pero aún es posible un desbordamiento del búfer. Utilice snprintf() con tamaño de búfer en lugar de sprintf(). Encontrado por el Centro de verificación de Linux (linuxtesting.org) con SVACE.

It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate certain SMB messages, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information. Supraja Sridhara, Benedict Schlüter, Mark Kuhne, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that the Confidential Computing framework in the Linux kernel for x86 platforms did not properly handle 32-bit emulation on TDX and SEV. An attacker with access to the VMM could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
