Summary
kernel/sched/fair.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.9, when cpu.cfs_quota_us is used (e.g., with Kubernetes), allows attackers to cause a denial of service against non-cpu-bound applications by generating a workload that triggers unwanted slice expiration, aka CID-de53fd7aedb1. (In other words, although this slice expiration would typically be seen with benign workloads, it is possible that an attacker could calculate how many stray requests are required to force an entire Kubernetes cluster into a low-performance state caused by slice expiration, and ensure that a DDoS attack sent that number of stray requests. An attack does not affect the stability of the kernel; it only causes mismanagement of application execution.)

(En otras palabras, aunque esta caducidad de corte se ver\u00eda t\u00edpicamente con cargas de trabajo benignas, es posible que un atacante pueda calcular cu\u00e1ntas peticiones extraviadas se requieren para forzar a un cl\u00faster Kubernetes completo a un estado de bajo rendimiento causado por la caducidad de corte, y garantizar que un ataque DDoS envi\u00f3 esa cantidad de peticiones perdidas. Un ataque no afecta la estabilidad del kernel; solo causa una gesti\u00f3n inapropiada de una ejecuci\u00f3n de la aplicaci\u00f3n).\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"baseScore\":5.5,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.8,\"impactScore\":3.6}],\"cvssMetricV2\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"2.0\",\"vectorString\":\"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P\",\"accessVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"accessComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"authentication\":\"NONE\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"PARTIAL\",\"baseScore\":2.1},\"baseSeverity\":\"LOW\",\"exploitabilityScore\":3.9,\"impactScore\":2.9,\"acInsufInfo\":false,\"obtainAllPrivilege\":false,\"obtainUserPrivilege\":false,\"obtainOtherPrivilege\":false,\"userInteractionRequired\":false}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-400\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"5.3.9\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"72AC7518-B872-42E3-A43B-F2D010211A8D\"}]}]},{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:oracle:sd-wan_edge:8.2:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"78C99571-0F3C-43E6-84B3-7D80E045EF8E\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:canonical:ubuntu_linux:18.04:*:*:*:lts:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"23A7C53F-B80F-4E6A-AFA9-58EEA84BE11D\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:canonical:ubuntu_linux:19.04:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"CD783B0C-9246-47D9-A937-6144FE8BFF0F\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:debian:debian_linux:8.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"C11E6FB0-C8C0-4527-9AA0-CB9B316F8F43\"}]}]},{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:netapp:active_iq_unified_manager:-:*:*:*:*:vmware_vsphere:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"3A756737-1CC4-42C2-A4DF-E1C893B4E2D5\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:netapp:cloud_backup:-:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"5C2089EE-5D7F-47EC-8EA5-0F69790564C4\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:netapp:data_availability_services:-:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"0EF46487-B64A-454E-AECC-D74B83170ACD\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:netapp:e-series_santricity_os_controller:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"11.0\",\"versionEndIncluding\":\"11.70.2\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"A0DA944C-4992-424D-BC82-474585DAC5DF\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:netapp:fas\\\\/aff_baseboard_management_controller:-:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"66EEA3CA-8CC7-4F0B-8204-6132D4114873\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:netapp:hci_baseboard_management_controller:h610s:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"DE7C6010-F736-4BDA-9E3B-C4370BBFA149\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:netapp:solidfire_\\\\\u0026_hci_management_node:-:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"D6D700C5-F67F-4FFB-BE69-D524592A3D2E\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:netapp:steelstore_cloud_integrated_storage:-:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"E94F7F59-1785-493F-91A7-5F5EA5E87E4D\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:h:netapp:aff_baseboard_management_controller:a700:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"49E3F452-73D7-465E-BC76-5B0DA75240A9\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:h:netapp:solidfire_baseboard_management_controller:-:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"090AA6F4-4404-4E26-82AB-C3A22636F276\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/ChangeLog-5.3.9\",\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"tags\":[\"Mailing
