Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-1106)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists in nvmap in NVIDIA Linux kernel distributions due to possibility to perform writes to read-only buffers. A local user can execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-1107)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access control restrictions in nvmap NVMAP_IOC_WRITE* paths. A local user can execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-1108)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
4) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-1109)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources. A multistep, timing-related vulnerability where an unauthorized modification by camera resources may result in denial of service.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-1110)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in camera firmware. A local user can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-1111)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Bootloader. An attacker with physical access through USB to the system can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.
7) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-1112)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in nvmap. A local userr can pass specially crafted data to the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-1113)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to unauthorized modification by camera resources. A local user can perform a denial of service attack.
9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-1114)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the kernel crypto node. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
