USN-5137-2: Linux kernel vulnerabilities It was discovered that the f2fs file system in the Linux kernel did not properly validate metadata in some situations. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious f2fs image that, when mounted and operated on, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-19449) It was discovered that the Infiniband RDMA userspace connection manager implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possible execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-36385) Wolfgang Frisch discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow when handling metadata inode extents. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious ext4 file system image that, when mounted, could cause a [ more… ]

USN-5140-1: Linux kernel (OEM 5.14) vulnerabilities It was discovered that the AMD Cryptographic Coprocessor (CCP) driver in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in some error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2021-3744, CVE-2021-3764) It was discovered that an integer overflow could be triggered in the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel when preallocating objects for stack maps. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-41864) Source: USN-5140-1: Linux kernel (OEM 5.14) vulnerabilities

USN-5139-1: Linux kernel (OEM 5.10) vulnerabilities Ilja Van Sprundel discovered that the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform size validations on incoming packets in some situations. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2021-3655) It was discovered that the AMD Cryptographic Coprocessor (CCP) driver in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in some error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2021-3744, CVE-2021-3764) It was discovered that the NFC protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability in its NFC Controller Interface (NCI) implementation. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3760) It was discovered that an integer overflow could be triggered in the eBPF implementation in [ more… ]

USN-5138-1: python-py vulnerability The py.path.svnwc component of py (aka python-py) through v1.9.0 contains a regular expression with an ambiguous subpattern that is susceptible to catastrophic backtracing. This could be used by attackers to cause a compute-time denial of service attack by supplying malicious input to the blame functionality. Source: USN-5138-1: python-py vulnerability
