CVSS v3.1
7.0
High
| Vector | AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions through 5.10.12
Description
The issue is related to a use-after-free in the
ndb queue rq function in the Linux kernel, specifically in the drivers/block/nbd.c file. This could be triggered by local attackers with access to the nbd device via an I/O request at a certain point during device setup, potentially allowing them to execute arbitrary code.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions through 5.10.12, update to a version newer than 5.10.12 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the nbd device to minimize the risk of exploitation.
