EUVDB-ID: #VU14177
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 7.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14611
CWE-ID:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free error in the btrfs_check_chunk_valid() function, as defined in the source code file fs/btrfs/volumes.c. A local attacker can mount a specially crafted Btrfs filesystem that submits malicious input, trigger memory corruption in the try_merge_free_space() function and cause the affected software to terminate abnormally or execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges..

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14734
CWE-ID:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to the ucma_leave_multicast() function, as defined in the drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c source code file of the affected software, could allow access to a certain data structure after it has been allocated and freed in the ucma_process_join() function. A local attacker can send a specially request that submits malicious input, trigger use-after-free error and cause the service to crash.

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14616
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to NULL pointer dereference when the fscrypt_do_page_crypto() function, as defined in the fs/crypto/crypto.c source code file of the affected software, operates on a file in a corrupted Flash-Friendly File System (F2FS) image. A local attacker can mount a malicious F2FS image on a targeted system, operat on a file in the image, and cause the software to crash.

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14610
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists in the write_extent_buffer() function due to insufficient verification that each block group has a corresponding chunk at mount time in the btrfs_read_block_groups()function, as defined in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c source code file. A local attacker can mount and operate a Btrfs filesystem image that submits malicious input, trigger an out-of-bounds read in the write_extent_buffer() function and cause the service to crash.

CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
