| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel version 5.0.0-rc7
Description
The issue is related to a slab-out-of-bounds read access in the
ttm put pages() function within the ttm module of the Linux kernel. This can occur when mounting a crafted f2fs filesystem image and performing certain operations. The vulnerability is associated with the vmwgfx or ttm module and can lead to a denial of service by executing commands in the mounted f2fs filesystem image.Recommendations
For Linux kernel version 5.0.0-rc7, consider disabling the
ttm put pages() function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vmwgfx and ttm modules to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the affected ttm module in the Linux kernel until the issue is resolved.Exploit
