Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-6104)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the "get_dnode_of_data" functionality. A local administrator can use a specially crafted f2fs filesystem, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
2) External Control of File Name or Path (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-6105)
CWE-ID: CWE-73 - External Control of File Name or Path
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to delete arbitrary files.
The vulnerability exists due to application allows an attacker to control path of the files to delete in the multiple devices functionality. A local administrator can use a specially crafted f2fs filesystem and delete arbitrary files on the system, leading to arbitrary code execution.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-6106)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the "init_node_manager" functionality. A local administrator can use a specially crafted filesystem, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-6107)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application in the "dev_read" functionality. A local administrator can use a specially crafted f2fs filesystem and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-6108)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the "fsck_chk_orphan_node" functionality. A local administrator can use a specially crafted f2fs filesystem, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
