EUVDB-ID: #VU47047

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-0429

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to execute arbitrary code.

In l2tp_session_delete and related functions of l2tp_core.c, there is possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-152735806

Mitigation

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 38 for SLE 12 SP3) to the latest version.

2) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information

EUVDB-ID: #VU52058

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1749

CWE-ID: CWE-319 - Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of some networking protocols in IPsec, such as VXLAN and GENEVE tunnels over IPv6. When an encrypted tunnel is created between two hosts, the kernel isn't correctly routing tunneled data over the encrypted link; rather sending the data unencrypted. This would allow anyone in between the two endpoints to read the traffic unencrypted.

Mitigation

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 38 for SLE 12 SP3) to the latest version.

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27363

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

6) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU51451

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-2021-27365

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing Netlink messages in Linux kernel through 5.11.3, as certain iSCSI data structures do not have appropriate length constraints or checks, and can exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. A local unprivileged user can send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to the maximum length of a Netlink message, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.

Mitigation

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 38 for SLE 12 SP3) to the latest version.
