K01512680: Linux kernel vulnerability CVE-2019-11811
Original Publication Date: 09 Jul, 2019
Latest Publication Date: 27 Oct, 2021
Security Advisory Description
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.4. There is a
use-after-free upon attempted read access to /proc/ioports after the ipmi_si
module is removed, related to drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c, drivers/char/
ipmi/ipmi_si_mem_io.c, and drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_port_io.c. (CVE-2019-11811
)
Impact
An attacker, with local access to read /proc/ioports, may be able to create a
use-after-free condition when the kernel module is unloaded, which may result
in privilege escalation.

Recommended Actions
If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable
column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to a version listed
in the Fixes introduced in column. If the table lists only an older version
than what you are currently running, or does not list a non-vulnerable version,
then no upgrade candidate currently exists.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, you should permit management access to F5
products only over a secure network and restrict command line access for
affected systems to trusted users. For more information, refer to K13309:
Restricting access to the Configuration utility by source IP address (11.x -
14.x) and K13092: Overview of securing access to the BIG-IP system.
