OESA-2023-1727 (CVE-2020-36766)

Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2023-10-13 11:06 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:06 – Source website

Summary

kernel security update

Details

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself.

Security Fix(es):

An array indexing vulnerability was found in the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel. A missing macro could lead to a miscalculation of the h->nets array offset, providing attackers with the primitive to arbitrarily increment/decrement a memory buffer out-of-bound. This issue may allow a local user to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2023-42753)

Severity

7.0 (High)
