Created: Oct 26, 2023    Updated: Jan 13, 2025
Resolved Date: Jan 13, 2025
Found In Version: 10.21.20.1
Fix Version: 10.21.20.21
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 21
Component/s: Kernel

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.
