Known Vulnerabilities
CVE-2022-0480
A flaw was found in the filelock_init in fs/locks.c function in the Linux kernel. This issue can lead to host memory exhaustion due to memcg not limiting the number of Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) file locks.
CVE-2022-0400
An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was discovered in linux kernel in the smc protocol stack, causing remote dos.
CVE-2021-3669
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. Measuring usage of the shared memory does not scale with large shared memory segment counts which could lead to resource exhaustion and DoS.
CVE-2021-3864
A flaw was found in the way the dumpable flag setting was handled when certain SUID binaries executed its descendants. The prerequisite is a SUID binary that sets real UID equal to effective UID, and real GID equal to effective GID. The descendant will then have a dumpable value set to 1. As a result, if the descendant process crashes and core_pattern is set to a relative value, its core dump is stored in the current directory with uid:gid permissions. An unprivileged local user with eligible root SUID binary could use this flaw to place core dumps into root-owned directories, potentially resulting in escalation of privileges.
