CVE-2020-36694 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:8 perf to version 0:4.18.0-305.el8 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2021:1578.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
An issue was discovered in netfilter in the Linux kernel before 5.10. There can be a use-after-free in the packet processing context, because the per-CPU sequence count is mishandled during concurrent iptables rules replacement. This could be exploited with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in an unprivileged namespace. NOTE: cc00bca was reverted in 5.12.
