  - A buffer over-read (at the framebuffer layer) in the     fbcon code in the Linux kernel before 5.8.15 could be     used by local attackers to read kernel memory, aka     CID-6735b4632def.(CVE-2020-28915)

  - A slab-out-of-bounds read in fbcon in the Linux kernel     before 5.9.7 could be used by local attackers to read     privileged information or potentially crash the kernel,     aka CID-3c4e0dff2095. This occurs because     KD_FONT_OP_COPY in drivers/tty/vt/vt.c can be used for     manipulations such as font height.(CVE-2020-28974)

  - Improper access control in BlueZ may allow an     unauthenticated user to potentially enable information     disclosure via adjacent access.(CVE-2020-12352)

  - In cdev_get of char_dev.c, there is a possible     use-after-free due to a race condition. This could lead     to local escalation of privilege with System execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions:
    Android-10Android ID: A-153467744(CVE-2020-0305)

  - A flaw was found in the HDLC_PPP module of the Linux     kernel in versions before 5.9-rc7. Memory corruption     and a read overflow is caused by improper input     validation in the ppp_cp_parse_cr function which can     cause the system to crash or cause a denial of service.
    The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-25643)

  - An issue was discovered in can_can_gw_rcv in     net/can/gw.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13. The     CAN frame modification rules allow bitwise logical     operations that can be also applied to the can_dlc     field. The privileged user 'root' with CAP_NET_ADMIN     can create a CAN frame modification rule that makes the     data length code a higher value than the available CAN     frame data size. In combination with a configured     checksum calculation where the result is stored     relatively to the end of the data (e.g.
    cgw_csum_xor_rel) the tail of the skb (e.g. frag_list     pointer in skb_shared_info) can be rewritten which     finally can cause a system crash. Because of a missing     check, the CAN drivers may write arbitrary content     beyond the data registers in the CAN controller's I/O     memory when processing can-gw manipulated outgoing     frames.(CVE-2019-3701)

  - In the Android kernel in Pixel C USB monitor driver     there is a possible OOB write due to a missing bounds     check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege     with System execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for     exploitation.(CVE-2019-9456)

  - A pivot_root race condition in fs/ namespace.c in the     Linux kernel 4.4.x before 4.4.221, 4.9.x before     4.9.221, 4.14.x before 4.14.178, 4.19.x before     4.19.119, and 5.x before 5.3 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (panic) by corrupting a     mountpoint reference counter.(CVE-2020-12114)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions before     5.9-rc7. Traffic between two Geneve endpoints may be     unencrypted when IPsec is configured to encrypt traffic     for the specific UDP port used by the GENEVE tunnel     allowing anyone between the two endpoints to read the     traffic unencrypted. The main threat from this     vulnerability is to data     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-25645)

  - In kbd_keycode of keyboard.c, there is a possible out     of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with no     additional execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product:
    AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-144161459(CVE-2020-0431)

  - In blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter of blk-mq-tag.c, there is     a possible use after free due to improper locking. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with no     additional execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product:
    AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-151939299(CVE-2020-0433)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.8.7, local attackers able     to inject conntrack netlink configuration could     overflow a local buffer, causing crashes or triggering     use of incorrect protocol numbers in     ctnetlink_parse_tuple_filter in net/ netfilter/     nf_conntrack_netlink.c, aka     CID-1cc5ef91d2ff.(CVE-2020-25211)

  - A memory out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the Linux     kernel before 5.9-rc2 with the ext3/ext4 file system,     in the way it accesses a directory with broken     indexing. This flaw allows a local user to crash the     system if the directory exists. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to system     availability.(CVE-2020-14314)

  - A TOCTOU mismatch in the NFS client code in the Linux     kernel before 5.8.3 could be used by local attackers to     corrupt memory or possibly have unspecified other     impact because a size check is in fs/ nfs/ nfs4proc.c     instead of fs/ nfs/ nfs4xdr.c, aka     CID-b4487b935452.(CVE-2020-25212)

  - The rbd block device driver in drivers/block/rbd.c in     the Linux kernel through 5.8.9 used incomplete     permission checking for access to rbd devices, which     could be leveraged by local attackers to map or unmap     rbd block devices, aka     CID-f44d04e696fe.(CVE-2020-25284)

  - A race condition between hugetlb sysctl handlers in     mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel before 5.8.8 could be     used by local attackers to corrupt memory, cause a NULL     pointer dereference, or possibly have unspecified other     impact, aka CID-17743798d812.(CVE-2020-25285)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel before 5.9-rc4.
    Memory corruption can be exploited to gain root     privileges from unprivileged processes. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity.(CVE-2020-14386)
