- Summary
- CVE-2018-16880 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.10.78.1-1
- Details
-
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handlerx() function in the [vhostnet] driver. A malicious virtual guest, under specific conditions, can trigger an out-of-bounds write in a kmalloc-8 slab on a virtual host which may lead to a kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out. Versions from v4.16 and newer are vulnerable.
