Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the legacy_parse_param function in the Filesystem Context functionality of the Linux kernel verified the supplied parameters length. An unprivileged (in case of unprivileged user namespaces enabled, otherwise needs namespaced CAP_SYS_ADMIN privilege) local user able to open a filesystem that does not support the Filesystem Context API (and thus fallbacks to legacy handling) could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.

  • WID-SEC-W-2022-0515IBM Spectrum Protect: Mehrere SchwachstellenDeutsch2022-06-29csaf · cert_bundDE

    Ein entfernter, anonymer, authentisierter oder lokaler Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in IBM Spectrum Protect ausnutzen, um einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand herbeizuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen, beliebigen Code auszuführen, seine Rechte zu erweitern oder beliebigen Code mit Root-Rechten auszuführen.

  • PUB-A-2131723692022-06-01vendor · osvUS

    In legacy_parse_param of fs_context.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
