1) Use after free

EUVDB-ID: #VU92762

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25669

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.

A vulnerability was found in the Linux Kernel where the function sunkbd_reinit having been scheduled by sunkbd_interrupt before sunkbd being freed. Though the dangling pointer is set to NULL in sunkbd_disconnect, there is still an alias in sunkbd_reinit causing Use After Free.

Mitigation

Update the affected package linux to the latest version.

5) Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types

EUVDB-ID: #VU52687

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-28588

CWE-ID: CWE-681 - Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect conversion between numeric types in the /proc/pid/syscall functionality. A local attacker can read /proc/pid/syscall to trigger this vulnerability, leading to the kernel leaking memory contents.

Mitigation

Update the affected package linux to the latest version.

6) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU52772

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:H/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-29568

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to a crash the entire system.

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x. Some OSes (such as Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD) are processing watch events using a single thread. If the events are received faster than the thread is able to handle, they will get queued. As the queue is unbounded, a guest may be able to trigger an OOM in the backend. All systems with a FreeBSD, Linux, or NetBSD (any version) dom0 are vulnerable.

Mitigation

Update the affected package linux to the latest version.

EUVDB-ID: #VU92761

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20177

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of string matching within a packet. A privileged user (with root or CAP_NET_ADMIN) when inserting iptables rules could insert a rule which can panic the system. Kernel before kernel 5.5-rc1 is affected.

Mitigation

Update the affected package linux to the latest version.
