CVE-2020-10732

First published: Fri May 01 2020(Updated: )

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel implementation of userspace core dumps. This flaw allows anyone with access to core dumps to see a small amount of private kernel data about the current running kernels internal state which could be used to further allow an attack to more reliably execute. This information could be user processes or kernel state from previous executions.

Remedy

Possible mitigation would be to disable core dumps system-wide by setting: * hard core 0 In the /etc/security/limits.conf file and restarting applications/services/processes which users may have access to or simply reboot the system. This disables core dumps which may not be a suitable workaround in your environment.
