LIN9-7998 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2019-5489

Created: Jan 15, 2019    Updated: Aug 15, 2019
Resolved Date: Jul 21, 2019
Found In Version: 9.0.0.19
Fix Version: 9.0.0.22
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 9
Component/s: Kernel

Description

The mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13 allowed local attackers to observe page cache access patterns of other processes on the same system, potentially allowing sniffing of secret information. (Fixing this affects the output of the fincore program.) Limited remote exploitation may be possible, as demonstrated by latency differences in accessing public files from an Apache HTTP Server.
