Уязвимость функции tss_invalidate_io_bitmap ядра операционной системы Linux, позволяющая нарушителю повысить свои привилегии

Уязвимость подсистемы cgroupv2 ядра операционной системы Linux, позволяющая нарушителю вызвать отказ в обслуживании или повысить свои привилегии

A flaw null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel cgroupv2 subsystem in versions before 5.7.10 was found in the way when reboot the system. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.5 through 5.7.9, as used in Xen through 4.13.x for x86 PV guests. An attacker may be granted the I/O port permissions of an unrelated task. This occurs because tss_invalidate_io_bitmap mishandling causes a loss of synchronization between the I/O bitmaps of TSS and Xen, aka CID-cadfad870154.
