Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Consider the NULL character when validating the event length strlen() returns a string length excluding the null byte. If the string
length equals to the maximum buffer length, the buffer will have no
space for the NULL terminating character. This commit checks this condition and returns failure for it.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: rastreo: considerar el carácter NULL al validar la longitud del evento strlen() devuelve una longitud de cadena que excluye el byte nulo. Si la longitud de la cadena es igual a la longitud máxima del búfer, el búfer no tendrá espacio para el carácter de terminación NULL. Esta confirmación verifica esta condición y devuelve un error.

Michael Randrianantenaina discovered that the Bluetooth driver in the Linux Kernel contained an improper access control vulnerability. A nearby attacker could use this to connect a rogue device and possibly execute arbitrary code. Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
