When this time namespace is destroyed, the vvar page is also freed, but not removed from the process' memory, and a next page allocated by the kernel will be still available from the user-space process and can leak memory contents via this (read-only) use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past version 5.10.161 or commit 788d0824269bef539fe31a785b1517882eafed93 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/io_uring" } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-416 Use After Free", "cweId": "CWE-416" } ] } ] }, "affects": { "vendor": { "vendor_data": [ { "vendor_name": "Linux", "product": { "product_data": [ { "product_name": "Linux Kernel", "version": { "version_data": [ { "version_affected": "<=", "version_name": "5.6", "version_value": "5.10.161" } ] } } ] } } ] } }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/io_uring?h=linux-5.10.y&id=788d0824269bef539fe31a785b1517882eafed93", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/io_uring?h=linux-5.10.y&id=788d0824269bef539fe31a785b1517882eafed93" }, { "url": "https://kernel.dance/#788d0824269bef539fe31a785b1517882eafed93", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://kernel.dance/#788d0824269bef539fe31a785b1517882eafed93" } ] }, "generator": { "engine": "Vulnogram 0.1.0-dev" }, "source": { "discovery": "EXTERNAL" }, "credits": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "Bing-Jhong Billy Jheng of Starlabs" } ], "impact": { "cvss": [ { "attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "NONE", "baseScore": 5.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N", "version": "3.1" } ] } }
