Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13974)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/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 escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c if k_ascii is called several times in a row. A local user can trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


2) Use of uninitialized resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10732)

CWE-ID: CWE-908 - Use of Uninitialized Resource

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to use of uninitialized resource error within the fill_thread_core_info() function in fs/binfmt_elf.c. A local user can read memory contents or crash the application.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14314)

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

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 authenticated user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

A memory out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the Linux kernel before 5.9-rc2 with the ext3/ext4 file system, in the way it accesses a directory with broken indexing. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system if the directory exists.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12770)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/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 execute arbitrary code on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to the "sg_write" lacks an "sg_remove_request" call in a certain failure case. A local user can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
