It was discovered that the timer stats implementation in the Linux kernel allowed the discovery of a real PID value while inside a PID namespace. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-5967) Wen Xu discovered that the XFS file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly track inode validations. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious XFS image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2018-13093) Wen Xu discovered that the f2fs file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate metadata. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious f2fs image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2018-13097, CVE-2018-13100) It was discovered that the Qualcomm Atheros 60GHz wireless driver in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow when validating the length of certain information elements, leading to a buffer overflow. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-5848) Likang Luo discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem of the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3752) It was discovered that the eventpoll (aka epoll) implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions when adding file descriptors, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-39634) Jann Horn discovered a race condition in the Unix domain socket implementation in the Linux kernel that could result in a read-after-free. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-4083) Lyu Tao discovered t

What to do

Three questions, each answered from this record only. Confirm the vendor advisory before you patch.

Should you patch?

Exploitation likelihood is not on this record for USN-8924-1. A missing EPSS score is not a low risk. Compare linux vulnerabilities with the linked advisory before you change production.

Which versions are affected?

Compare what you have installed with 0 → 3.13.0-218.269. Compare the installed version with the linked vendor advisory before you change production.

What should an analyst verify?

No weakness class is stored. EPSS is not on this record yet. There is no CISA KEV listing. No Exploit-DB or Metasploit reference is linked. Use the source links for the original advisory.
