Уязвимость ядра Linux, связанная с переполнения буфера виртуальной памяти, позволяющая нарушителю получить несанкционированный доступ к информации и нарушить ее целостность и доступность

Уязвимость компонента arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c ядра операционной системы Linux, позволяющая нарушителю оказать воздействие на конфиденциальность и доступность защищаемой информации

A buffer overflow flaw was found, in versions from 2.6.34 to 5.2.x, in the way Linux kernel's vhost functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to pass descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway, could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the host.

In the Linux kernel through 5.2.14 on the powerpc platform, a local user can read vector registers of other users' processes via a Facility Unavailable exception. To exploit the venerability, a local user starts a transaction (via the hardware transactional memory instruction tbegin) and then accesses vector registers. At some point, the vector registers will be corrupted with the values from a different local Linux process because of a missing arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c check.
