CVE-2023-5717 HIGH

Published: 2023-10-25 | Last Modified: 2025-02-13 | Status: Modified

Description

A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Linux Kernel Performance Events (perf) component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. If perf_read_group() is called while an event's sibling_list is smaller than its child's sibling_list, it can increment or write to memory locations outside of the allocated buffer. We recommend upgrading past commit 32671e3799ca2e4590773fd0e63aaa4229e50c06.

Additional Descriptions (1)

Se puede aprovechar una vulnerabilidad de escritura fuera de límites del montón en el componente Linux Kernel Performance Events (perf) del kernel de Linux para lograr una escalada de privilegios local. Si se llama a perf_read_group() mientras la lista de hermanos de un evento es más pequeña que la lista de hermanos de su hijo, puede incrementar o escribir en ubicaciones de memoria fuera del búfer asignado. Recomendamos actualizar después del commit 32671e3799ca2e4590773fd0e63aaa4229e50c06.
