Summary
S Linux kernel vulnerabilities
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Summary
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software Description
- linux - Linux kernel
- linux-aws - Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems
- linux-azure - Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems
- linux-gcp - Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems
- linux-oem - Linux kernel for OEM systems
Details
Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation in the
Linux kernel contained a type-confusion error. A physically proximate
remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-12351)
Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth A2MP implementation in the
Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations. A
physically proximate remote attacker could use this to expose sensitive
information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-12352)
Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth HCI event packet parser in the
Linux kernel did not properly handle event advertisements of certain
sizes, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. A physically proximate
remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-24490)
