From VID-8DB74C04-D794-11EA-88F8-901B0EF719AB:
Problem Description:
When handling a 32-bit sendmsg(2) call, the compat32 subsystem copies the
control message to be transmitted (if any) into kernel memory, and adjusts
alignment of control message headers. The code which performs this work
contained a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability which allows a
malicious userspace program to modify control message headers after they were
validated by the kernel.
Impact:
The TOCTOU bug can be exploited by an unprivileged malicious userspace program
to trigger privilege escalation.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
