Other vulnerabilities in SELinux
See all- CVE-2021-36087Low
The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a heap-based buffer over-read in ebitmap_match_any, called indirectly from cil_check_neverallow. This occurs due to missing validation of invalid statements in an optional block.
- CVE-2021-36086Low
The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a use-after-free vulnerability in the cil_reset_classpermission function, called from cil_reset_classperms_set and cil_reset_classperms_list. This could lead to unexpected behavior or potential exploitation by an attacker.
- CVE-2021-36085Low
The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a use-after-free vulnerability in the __cil_verify_classperms function, called from __verify_map_perm_classperms and hashtab_map. This could lead to unexpected behavior or potential exploitation by an attacker.
