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.

Notes

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