CVE-2018-12233
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—
En la función ea_get en fs/jfs/xattr.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.17.1, un error de corrupción de memoria en JFS puede desencadenarse mediante una llamada a setxattr dos veces con dos nombres de atributo extendidos diferentes en el mismo archivo. Esta vulnerabilidad puede ser desencadenada por un usuario no privilegiado con la capacidad de crear archivos y ejecutar programas. Una llamada kmalloc es incorrecta, lo que conduce a un slab fuera de límites en jfs_xattr.
