Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4: Fix memory leak in nfs4_set_security_label We leak nfs_fattr and nfs4_label every time we set a security xattr.
A vulnerability was found in the nfs4_set_security_label() in the Linux kernel, where the function fails to free the nfs_fattr attribute before exiting, leaving said memory allocation present. As the nfs4_set_security_label() is called repeatedly over time, this may lead to memory exhaustion.
Chenyuan Yang discovered that the USB Gadget subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly check for the device to be enabled before writing. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
