Ryota Shiga discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly verify that a BPF program only reserved as much memory for a ring buffer as was allocated. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3489) Manfred Paul discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly track bounds on bitwise operations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3490) Billy Jheng Bing-Jhong discovered that the io_uring implementation of the Linux kernel did not properly enforce the MAX_RW_COUNT limit in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3491) Norbert Slusarek discovered that the CAN ISOTP protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Please note that to address this issue, SF_BROADCAST support was removed temporarily from the CAN ISOTP implementation in Ubuntu 21.04 kernels. (LP: #1927409)
