CVE-2021-28375

CVSS v3.1

7.8

High

VectorAV: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 versions prior to 5.11.6
Description An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel where the fastrpc internal invoke function in drivers/misc/fastrpc.c does not prevent user applications from sending kernel RPC messages. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. The issue is related to a problem with insecure privilege management.
Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 5.11.6, consider disabling the fastrpc internal invoke function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the drivers/misc/fastrpc.c module to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
