CVE-2020-27777

Publication date 15 December 2020

Last updated 25 October 2024

Ubuntu priority

Why this priority?

Cvss 3 Severity Score

6.7 · Medium

Score breakdown

A flaw was found in the way RTAS handled memory accesses in userspace to kernel communication. On a locked down (usually due to Secure Boot) guest system running on top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors (pseries platform) a root like local user could use this flaw to further increase their privileges to that of a running kernel.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

Daniel Axtens discovered that PowerPC RTAS implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict memory accesses in some situations. A privileged local attacker could use this to arbitrarily modify kernel memory, potentially bypassing kernel lockdown restrictions.
