HIGH Summary
fs/namei.c in the Linux kernel before 5.5 has a may_create_in_sticky use-after-free, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) or possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, aka CID-d0cb50185ae9. One attack vector may be an open system call for a UNIX domain socket, if the socket is being moved to a new parent directory and its old parent directory is being removed.

NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-4319-1.NASL description It was discovered that the IPMI message handler implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19046) Al Viro discovered that the vfs layer in the Linux kernel contained a use- after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-8428).

This is related to snd_timer_open and snd_timer_close_locked. The timeri variable was originally intended to be for a newly created timer instance, but was used for a different purpose after refactoring.(CVE-2019-19807) - Kernel: kvm: nVMX: L2 guest may trick the L0 hypervisor to access sensitive L1 resources(CVE-2020-2732) - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the n_tty_receive_buf_common function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c.(CVE-2020-8648) - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the vgacon_invert_region function in drivers/video/console/vgacon.c.(CVE-2020-8649) - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the vc_do_resize function in drivers/tty/vt/vt.c.(CVE-2020-8647) - fs/namei.c in the Linux kernel before 5.5 has a may_create_in_sticky use-after-free, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) or possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, aka CID-d0cb50185ae9.

(CVE-2020-8428) Gustavo Romero and Paul Mackerras discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel for PowerPC processors did not properly keep guest state separate from host state. A local attacker in a KVM guest could use this to cause a denial of service (host system crash). (CVE-2020-8834) Shijie Luo discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly check for a too-large journal size. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious ext4 image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (soft lockup). (CVE-2020-8992).

This could allow an L2 guest to cause privilege escalation, denial of service, or information leaks in the L1 guest. - CVE-2020-8428 Al Viro discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the VFS layer. This allowed local users to cause a denial-of-service (crash) or obtain sensitive information from kernel memory. - CVE-2020-10942 It was discovered that the vhost_net driver did not properly validate the type of sockets set as back-ends. A local user permitted to access /dev/vhost-net could use this to cause a stack corruption via crafted system calls, resulting in denial of service (crash) or possibly privilege escalation. - CVE-2020-11565 Entropy Moe reported that the shared memory filesystem (tmpfs) did not correctly handle an last seen 2020-05-09 modified 2020-04-30 plugin id 136124 published 2020-04-30 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/136124 title Debian DSA-4667-1 : linux - security update NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-4320-1.NASL description Al Viro discovered that the vfs layer in the Linux kernel contained a use- after-free vulnerability.
