LIN9-7857 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2018-16884

Created: Dec 19, 2018    Updated: Feb 25, 2019
Resolved Date: Feb 20, 2019
Found In Version: 9.0.0.19
Fix Version: 9.0.0.20
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 9
Component/s: Kernel

Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the NFS41+ subsystem. NFS41+ shares mounted in different network namespaces at the same time can make bc_svc_process() use wrong back-channel id and cause a use-after-free. Thus a malicious container user can cause a host kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out.
