CVE-2018-1068
Publication date 16 March 2018
Last updated 24 July 2024
Ubuntu priority
Cvss 3 Severity Score
A flaw was found in the Linux 4.x kernel's implementation of 32-bit syscall interface for bridging. This allowed a privileged user to arbitrarily write to a limited range of kernel memory.
From the Ubuntu Security Team
It was discovered that the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel did not properly validate ebtables offsets. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
