Summary
Yuxuan Hu discovered that the Bluetooth RFCOMM protocol driver in the Linux
Kernel contained a race condition, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2024-22099)
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem
in the Linux kernel, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A
privileged local attacker could use this to possibly cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24860)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
- SuperH RISC architecture;
- User-Mode Linux (UML);
- GPU drivers;
- MMC subsystem;
- Network drivers;
- PHY drivers;
- Pin controllers subsystem;
- Xen hypervisor drivers;
- GFS2 file system;
- Core kernel;
- Bluetooth subsystem;
- IPv4 networking;
- IPv6 networking;
- HD-audio driver;
- ALSA SH drivers;
