LIN1019-8696 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2022-2503

Created: Aug 14, 2022    Updated: Aug 27, 2022
Resolved Date: Aug 27, 2022
Found In Version: 10.19.45.1
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 19
Component/s: Kernel

Description

Dm-verity is used for extending root-of-trust to root filesystems. LoadPin builds on this property to restrict module/firmware loads to just the trusted root filesystem. Device-mapper table reloads currently allow users with root privileges to switch out the target with an equivalent dm-linear target and bypass verification till reboot. This allows root to bypass LoadPin and can be used to load untrusted and unverified kernel modules and firmware, which implies arbitrary kernel execution and persistence for peripherals that do not verify firmware updates. We recommend upgrading past commit 4caae58406f8ceb741603eee460d79bacca9b1b5
