Buffer Overflow, Integer Overflow
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux Kernel. This issue could allow the leakage of both stack and heap addresses, and potentially allow Local Privilege Escalation to the root user via arbitrary code execution.

Remedy

This flaw can be mitigated by disabling unprivileged user namespaces will prevent exploitation: ~~~ sysctl -w kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 0 ~~~

Remedy

If not needed, disable the ability for unprivileged users to create namespaces. To do this temporarily, do: sudo sysctl -w kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=0 To disable across reboots, do: echo kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=0 | \ sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/99-disable-unpriv-userns.conf
