| Title | Kernel: use-after-free in route4_change() in net/sched/cls_route.c |
|---|
| Description | A flaw was found in the "Routing decision" classifier in the Linux kernel's Traffic Control networking subsystem in the way it handled changing of classification filters, leading to a use-after-free condition. This flaw allows unprivileged local users to escalate their privileges on the system.
This flaw is rated as having Moderate impact (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and lower) because of the need to have CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges and that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 disabled unprivileged user/network namespaces by default. This flaw is rated as having Important impact (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8) because Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 enabled unprivileged user/network namespaces by default which can be used to gain CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges in corresponding user namespace even for otherwise unprivileged local user and thus exercise this vulnerability.
