Kernel Live Patch Security Notice LSN-0084-1

Kernel Live Patch Security Notice LSN-0084-1
Posted Jan 20, 2022
Authored by Benjamin M. Romer

William Liu and Jamie Hill-Daniel discovered that the file system context functionality in the Linux kernel contained an integer underflow vulnerability, leading to an out-of-bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code.
