USN-5413-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
USN-5413-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities Jeremy Cline discovered a use-after-free in the nouveau graphics driver of the Linux kernel during device removal. A privileged or physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2020-27820) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the network scheduling subsystem of the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-39713) It was discovered that the Parallel NFS (pNFS) implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform bounds checking in some situations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-4157) It was discovered that the ST21NFCA NFC driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the size [ more… ]
