Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Preserve param->string when parsing mount options In bpf_parse_param(), keep the value of param->string intact so it can
be freed later. Otherwise, the kmalloc area pointed to by param->string
will be leaked as shown below: unreferenced object 0xffff888118c46d20 (size 8): comm "new_name", pid 12109, jiffies 4295580214 hex dump (first 8 bytes): 61 6e 79 00 38 c9 5c 7e any.8.\~ backtrace (crc e1b7f876): [<00000000c6848ac7>] kmemleak_alloc+0x4b/0x80 [<00000000de9f7d00>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller_noprof+0x36e/0x4a0 [<000000003e29b886>] memdup_user+0x32/0xa0 [<0000000007248326>] strndup_user+0x46/0x60 [<0000000035b3dd29>] __x64_sys_fsconfig+0x368/0x3d0 [<0000000018657927>] x64_sys_call+0xff/0x9f0 [<00000000c0cabc95>] do_syscall_64+0x3b/0xc0 [<000000002f331597>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: bpf: preservar param-&gt;string al analizar las opciones de montaje. En bpf_parse_param(), mantenga intacto el valor de param-&gt;string para que pueda liberarse más tarde. De lo contrario, el área kmalloc a la que apunta param-&gt;string se filtrará como se muestra a continuación: objeto sin referencia 0xffff888118c46d20 (tamaño 8): comm "new_name", pid 12109, jiffies 4295580214 volcado hexadecimal (primeros 8 bytes): 61 6e 79 00 38 c9 5c 7e any.8.\~ backtrace (crc e1b7f876): [&lt;00000000c6848ac7&gt;] kmemleak_alloc+0x4b/0x80 [&lt;00000000de9f7d00&gt;] __kmalloc_node_track_caller_noprof+0x36e/0x4a0 [&lt;000000003e29b886&gt;] memdup_user+0x32/0xa0 [&lt;0000000007248326&gt;] strndup_user+0x46/0x60 [&lt;0000000035b3dd29&gt;] __x64_sys_fsconfig+0x368/0x3d0 [&lt;0000000018657927&gt;] x64_sys_call+0xff/0x9f0 [&lt;00000000c0cabc95&gt;] do_syscall_64+0x3b/0xc0 [&lt;000000002f331597&gt;] entrada_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53

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. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
