Threats tagged 'ghsa-236x-phcf-6qmf'

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Landlock security module has been fixed. The flaw involves improper handling of the source's parent directory dentry during certain filesystem operations, allowing a race condition between linkat(2), rename(2), and rmdir(2) system calls. This can lead to kernel memory corruption and potential system compromise. The issue affects specific Linux kernel versions used in the linux-hwe-edge product line.
