Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3739)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to read data or crash the application.

The vulnerability exists due to NULL pointer dereference within the btrfs_rm_device() function in fs/btrfs/volumes.c. A local user can read data or crash the application.


2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3743)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the Qualcomm IPC router protocol in the Linux kernel. A local user can gain access to out-of-bounds memory to leak internal kernel information or perform a denial of service attack.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3753)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/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 vt_k_ioctl in drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel. A local user can trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3759)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel’s ipc functionality of the memcg subsystem when user calls the semget function multiple times, creating semaphores. A local user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
