linux-aws vulnerabilities

Published Aug 24, 2022 · Updated Sep 14, 2026

Summary

It was discovered that the framebuffer driver on the Linux kernel did not
verify size limits when changing font or screen size, leading to an out-of-
bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-33655)

It was discovered that the virtual terminal driver in the Linux kernel did
not properly handle VGA console font changes, leading to an out-of-bounds
write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-33656)

It was discovered that the Packet network protocol implementation in the
Linux kernel contained an out-of-bounds access. A remote attacker could use
this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-20368)

Domingo Dirutigliano and Nicola Guerrera discovered that the netfilter
subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle rules that truncated
packets below the packet header size. When such rules are in place, a
remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2022-36946)
