    (CVE-2020-10732)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels SELinux LSM hook implementation before version 5.7, where it     incorrectly assumed that an skb would only contain a single netlink message. The hook would incorrectly     only validate the first netlink message in the skb and allow or deny the rest of the messages within the     skb with the granted permission without further processing. (CVE-2020-10751)

  - A stack information leak flaw was found in s390/s390x in the Linux kernel's memory manager functionality,     where it incorrectly writes to the /proc/sys/vm/cmm_timeout file. This flaw allows a local user to see the     kernel data. (CVE-2020-10773)

  - A memory disclosure flaw was found in the Linux kernel's versions before 4.18.0-193.el8 in the sysctl     subsystem when reading the /proc/sys/kernel/rh_features file. This flaw allows a local user to read     uninitialized values from the kernel memory. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality. (CVE-2020-10774)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.5.8, get_raw_socket in drivers/vhost/net.c lacks validation of an sk_family     field, which might allow attackers to trigger kernel stack corruption via crafted system calls.
    (CVE-2020-10942)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.2. mpol_parse_str in mm/mempolicy.c     has a stack-based out-of-bounds write because an empty nodelist is mishandled during mount option parsing,     aka CID-aa9f7d5172fa. NOTE: Someone in the security community disagrees that this is a vulnerability     because the issue is a bug in parsing mount options which can only be specified by a privileged user, so     triggering the bug does not grant any powers not already held.. (CVE-2020-11565)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.6.1, drivers/media/usb/gspca/xirlink_cit.c (aka the Xirlink camera USB     driver) mishandles invalid descriptors, aka CID-a246b4d54770. (CVE-2020-11668)

  - An array overflow was discovered in mt76_add_fragment in drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/dma.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.5.10, aka CID-b102f0c522cf. An oversized packet with too many rx fragments can     corrupt memory of adjacent pages. (CVE-2020-12465)

  - An issue was discovered in xfs_agf_verify in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c in the Linux kernel through 5.6.10.
    Attackers may trigger a sync of excessive duration via an XFS v5 image with crafted metadata, aka     CID-d0c7feaf8767. (CVE-2020-12655)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6.7. xdp_umem_reg in net/xdp/xdp_umem.c has an out-     of-bounds write (by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability) because of a lack of headroom validation.
    (CVE-2020-12659)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.11. sg_write lacks an sg_remove_request call in a     certain failure case, aka CID-83c6f2390040. (CVE-2020-12770)

  - A signal access-control issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6.5, aka CID-7395ea4e65c2.
    Because exec_id in include/linux/sched.h is only 32 bits, an integer overflow can interfere with a     do_notify_parent protection mechanism. A child process can send an arbitrary signal to a parent process in     a different security domain. Exploitation limitations include the amount of elapsed time before an integer     overflow occurs, and the lack of scenarios where signals to a parent process present a substantial     operational threat. (CVE-2020-12826)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's futex implementation. This flaw allows a local attacker to corrupt     system memory or escalate their privileges when creating a futex on a filesystem that is about to be     unmounted. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability. (CVE-2020-14381)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of biovecs in versions before 5.9-rc7. A zero-length     biovec request issued by the block subsystem could cause the kernel to enter an infinite loop, causing a     denial of service. This flaw allows a local attacker with basic privileges to issue requests to a block     device, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability. (CVE-2020-25641)
