vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2020-12362
DESCRIPTION: Intel Graphics Drivers could allow a local authenticated attacker
to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by an integer overflow in the
firmware. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated
privileges on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
196564 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID: CVE-2020-12363
DESCRIPTION: Intel Graphics Drivers are vulnerable to a denial of service,
caused by improper input validation. A local authenticated attacker could
exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 1.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
196581 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2020-12364
DESCRIPTION: Intel Graphics Drivers are vulnerable to a denial of service,
caused by a NULL pointer reference error. A local authenticated attacker could
exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 1.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
196582 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2020-27170
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain
sensitive information, caused by an out-of-bounds loads flaw. By executing
specially-crafted BPF programs, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to
obtain contents of kernel memory, and use this information to launch further
attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
198453 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2020-8648
DESCRIPTION: Linux kernel could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by a use-after-free in the n_tty_receive_buf_common
function of drivers/tty/n_tty.c. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability
to read memory that should not be available for access.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
175843 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2021-3347
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain
elevated privileges on the system, caused by a kernel stack use-after-free
during fault handling in PI futexes. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code in the
kernel.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
195798 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID: CVE-2020-24489
DESCRIPTION: Multiple Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/0 (VT-d)
products could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges
on the system, caused by an incomplete cleanup. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to gain elevated privileges on the system.
CVSS Base score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
203350 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID: CVE-2020-24511
DESCRIPTION: Intel Processors could allow a local authenticated attacker to
obtain sensitive information, caused by improper isolation of shared resources.
By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 5.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
203398 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2020-24512
DESCRIPTION: Intel Processors could allow a local authenticated attacker to
obtain sensitive information, caused by the observable timing discrepancy
issue. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 2.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
203396 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2020-24513
DESCRIPTION: Intel Atom could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain
sensitive information, caused by domain-bypass transient execution
vulnerability. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain
sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 5.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
203407 for the current score.
