A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the
legacy_parse_param function in the Filesystem Context functionality of the
Linux kernel verified the supplied parameters length. An unprivileged (in
case of unprivileged user namespaces enabled, otherwise needs namespaced
CAP_SYS_ADMIN privilege) local user able to open a filesystem that does not
support the Filesystem Context API (and thus fallbacks to legacy handling)
could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.

alexmurray | Requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN however this can be done within a new user namespace - so can be mitigated by disabling unprivileged user namespaces. |
