LIN1021-3250 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2022-1158

Created: Apr 9, 2022    Updated: Aug 7, 2022
Resolved Date: Apr 20, 2022
Found In Version: 10.21.20.1
Fix Version: 10.21.20.12
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 21
Component/s: Kernel

Description

A flaw was found in KVM. When updating a guest's page table entry, vm_pgoff was improperly used as the offset to get the page's pfn. As vaddr and vm_pgoff are controllable by user-mode processes, this flaw allows unprivileged local users on the host to write outside the userspace region and potentially corrupt the kernel, resulting in a denial of service condition.
