Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource management error
EUVDB-ID: #VU21057
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 0.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11487
CWE-ID:
CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reference count overflow in page->_refcount that leads to a use-after-free error on systems with more than 140 GiB of RAM. A local user can send specially crafted FUSE requests that may lead to denial of service conditions.
The vulnerability is related to code in fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c, include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h, kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c files.
