CVE-2020-10942
Publication date 24 March 2020
Last updated 24 July 2024
Ubuntu priority
Cvss 3 Severity Score
In the Linux kernel before 5.5.8, get_raw_socket in drivers/vhost/net.c lacks validation of an sk_family field, which might allow attackers to trigger kernel stack corruption via crafted system calls.
From the Ubuntu Security Team
It was discovered that the vhost net driver in the Linux kernel contained a stack buffer overflow. A local attacker with the ability to perform ioctl() calls on /dev/vhost-net could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
