| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel version v5.12-rc5
Description:
An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in
x25 bind in net/x25/af x25.c. A bounds check failure allows a local attacker with a user account on the system to gain access to out-of-bounds memory, leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.Recommendations:
For Linux kernel version v5.12-rc5, consider restricting access to the
x25 bind function in net/x25/af x25.c to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
