Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio/vsock: Fix accept_queue memory leak As the final stages of socket destruction may be delayed, it is possible
that virtio_transport_recv_listen() will be called after the accept_queue
has been flushed, but before the SOCK_DONE flag has been set. As a result,
sockets enqueued after the flush would remain unremoved, leading to a
memory leak. vsock_release __vsock_release lock virtio_transport_release virtio_transport_close schedule_delayed_work(close_work) sk_shutdown = SHUTDOWN_MASK

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: virtio/vsock: Se soluciona la pérdida de memoria de accept_queue. Como las etapas finales de la destrucción del socket pueden demorarse, es posible que se llame a virtio_transport_recv_listen() después de que se haya vaciado accept_queue, pero antes de que se haya establecido el indicador SOCK_DONE. Como resultado, los sockets en cola después del vaciado permanecerían sin eliminar, lo que provocaría una pérdida de memoria. vsock_release __vsock_release bloquear virtio_transport_release virtio_transport_close schedule_delayed_work(cerrar_trabajo) sk_shutdown = SHUTDOWN_MASK (!) vaciar accept_queue liberar virtio_transport_recv_pkt vsock_find_bound_socket bloquear si indicador(SOCK_DONE) devolver virtio_transport_recv_listen child = vsock_create_connected (!) vsock_enqueue_accept(child) liberar close_work bloquear virtio_transport_do_close set_flag(SOCK_DONE) virtio_transport_remove_sock vsock_remove_sock vsock_remove_bound liberar Introduce una comprobación de sk_shutdown para no permitir vsock_enqueue_accept() durante la destrucción del socket. objeto sin referencia 0xffff888109e3f800 (tamaño 2040): comm "kworker/5:2", pid 371, jiffies 4294940105 volcado hexadecimal (primeros 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 28 00 0b 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 (..@............ backtrace (crc 9e5f4e84): [] kmem_cache_alloc_noprof+0x2c1/0x360 [] sk_prot_alloc+0x30/0x120 [] sk_alloc+0x2c/0x4b0 [] __vsock_create.constprop.0+0x2a/0x310 [] virtio_transport_recv_pkt+0x4dc/0x9a0 [] vsock_loopback_work+0xfd/0x140 [] process_one_work+0x20c/0x570 [] subproceso_trabajador+0x1bf/0x3a0 [] kthread+0xdd/0x110 [] ret_de_la_bifurcación+0x2d/0x50 [] ret_de_la_bifurcación_asm+0x1a/0x30

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.
