GHSA-qpxm-m9h2-3v4r PUBLISHED CVSS 4.699999809265137 MEDIUM

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published May 14, 2022

The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function in net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.4, when CONFIG_NLMON is enabled, does not restrict observations of Netlink messages to a single net namespace, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on the system.
