An issue was discovered in aspeedlpcctrlmmap in drivers/soc/aspeed/aspeed-lpc-ctrl.c in the Linux kernel before 5.14.6. Local attackers able to access the Aspeed LPC control interface could overwrite memory in the kernel and potentially execute privileges, aka CID-b49a0e69a7b1. This occurs because a certain comparison uses values that are not memory sizes.

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in preallocelemsandfreelist in kernel/bpf/stackmap.c in the bpf iin the Linux kernel. In this flaw, the multiplication to calculate the size could lead to an integer overflow, and this could allow a local attacker, with a special user privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information.

A flaw was found in curl. This flaw lies in the --ssl-reqd option or related settings in libcurl. Users specify this flag to upgrade to TLS when communicating with either IMAP, POP3 or a FTP server. An attacker controlling such servers could return a crafted response which could lead to curl client continue its operation without TLS encryption leading to data being transmitted in clear text over the network. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel's joystick devices subsystem in versions before 5.9-rc1, in the way the user calls ioctl JSIOCSBTNMAP. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.19. The XFRM subsystem has a use-after-free, related to an xfrmstatefini panic, aka CID-dbb2483b2a46.

A flaw was found in Linux Kernel because access to the global variable fgconsole is not properly synchronized leading to a use after free in confontop.

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel, where a refcount leak in llcpsockconnect() causing use-after-free which might lead to privilege escalations.

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel where refcount leak in llcpsockbind() causing use-after-free which might lead to privilege escalations.

A memory leak vulnerability was found in Linux kernel in llcpsockconnect

A use-after-free flaw was found in the way curl handled TLS session data. The curl versions using the OpenSSL library as their TLS backend could use freed memory after TLS session renegotiation was performed by the OpenSSL library. A malicious TLS server could use this flaw to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a client application using the curl library.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s KVM implementation, where improper handing of the VMIO|VMPFNMAP VMAs in KVM bypasses RO checks and leads to pages being freed while still accessible by the VMM and guest. This flaw allows users who can start and control a VM to read/write random pages of memory, resulting in local privilege escalation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, and system availability.

The block subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.2 has a use-after-free that can lead to arbitrary code execution in the kernel context and privilege escalation, aka CID-c3e2219216c9. This is related to blkmqfreerqs and blkcleanupqueue.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s handling of the removal of Bluetooth HCI controllers. This flaw allows an attacker with a local account to exploit a race condition, leading to corrupted memory and possible privilege escalation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation of the eBPF code verifier, where an incorrect register bounds calculation while checking unsigned 32-bit instructions in an eBPF program occurs.. By default accessing the eBPF verifier is only accessible to privileged users with CAPSYSADMIN. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied eBPF programs prior to executing them. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges on the system.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.12. The value of internal.ndata, in the KVM API, is mapped to an array index, which can be updated by a user process at anytime which could lead to an out-of-bounds write. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity and system availability.

A race condition in Linux kernel SCTP sockets (net/sctp/socket.c) before 5.12-rc8 can lead to kernel privilege escalation from the context of a network service or an unprivileged process. If sctpdestroysock is called without socknet(sk)->sctp.addrwqlock then an element is removed from the autoasconfsplist list without any proper locking. This can be exploited by an attacker with network service privileges to escalate to root or from the context of an unprivileged user directly if a BPFCGROUPINETSOCKCREATE is attached which denies creation of some SCTP socket.

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in fs/f2fs/node.c in the f2fs module in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.12.0-rc4. A bounds check failure allows a local attacker to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

In drivers/pci/hotplug/rpadlparsysfs.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8, the RPA PCI Hotplug driver has a user-tolerable buffer overflow when writing a new device name to the driver from userspace, allowing userspace to write data to the kernel stack frame directly. This occurs because addslotstore and removeslotstore mishandle drcname '\0' termination, aka CID-cc7a0bb058b8.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8. The sound/soc/qcom/sdm845.c soundwire device driver has a buffer overflow when an unexpected port ID number is encountered, aka CID-1c668e1c0a0f. (This has been fixed in 5.12-rc4.)

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.6. fastrpcinternalinvoke in drivers/misc/fastrpc.c does not prevent user applications from sending kernel RPC messages, aka CID-20c40794eb85. This is a related issue to CVE-2019-2308.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. An out-of-bounds read was discovered in the libiscsi module that could lead to reading kernel memory or a crash. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality as well as system availability.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap buffer overflow in the iSCSI subsystem is triggered by setting an iSCSI string attribute to a value larger than one page and then trying to read it. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in x25bind in net/x25/afx25.c in the Linux kernel version v5.12-rc5. A bounds check failure allows a local attacker with a user account on the system to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system's integrity and availability.

As .x25addr[] array comes from the user and is not necessarily NUL terminated. Using strnlen() instead of strlen() will prevent a read overflow problem.

A locking issue was discovered in the tty subsystem of the Linux kernel in drivers/tty/ttyjobctrl.c which could allow an attacker with a local account to possibly corrupt memory or escalate privileges.

Reference and upstream patch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=54ffccbf053b5b6ca4f6e45094b942fab92a25fc

An issue was discovered in kmemcacheallocbulk in mm/slub.c in the Linux kernel before 5.5.11. The slowpath lacks the required TID increment, aka CID-fd4d9c7d0c71.

A NULL pointer dereference was found in OpenLDAP server and was fixed in openldap 2.4.55, during a request for renaming RDNs. An unauthenticated attacker could remotely crash the slapd process by sending a specially crafted request, causing a Denial of Service.
