Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

kprobes/x86: Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() to read from unsafe address

Read from an unsafe address with copy_from_kernel_nofault() in arch_adjust_kprobe_addr() because this function is used before checking the address is in text or not. Syzcaller bot found a bug and reported the case if user specifies inaccessible data area, arch_adjust_kprobe_addr() will cause a kernel panic.

[ mingo: Clarified the comment. ]

Open5GS MME versions <= 2.6.4 contains an assertion that can be remotely triggered via a sufficiently large ASN.1 packet over the S1AP interface. An attacker may repeatedly send such an oversized packet to cause the ogs_sctp_recvmsg routine to reach an unexpected network state and crash, leading to denial of service.
