Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: bcm - Fix pointer arithmetic In spu2_dump_omd() value of ptr is increased by ciph_key_len
instead of hash_iv_len which could lead to going beyond the
buffer boundaries.
Fix this bug by changing ciph_key_len to hash_iv_len. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: crypto: bcm - Arreglar la aritmética de punteros En spu2_dump_omd() el valor de ptr aumenta en ciph_key_len en lugar de hash_iv_len, lo que podría llevar a ir más allá de los límites del búfer. Corrija este error cambiando ciph_key_len a hash_iv_len. Encontrado por el Centro de verificación de Linux (linuxtesting.org) con SVACE.

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.
