Rising Linux security developer Alexander Popov of London-based Positive Technologies discovered and fixed a set of five security holes in the Linux kernel's virtual socket implementation. An attacker could use these vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-26708) to gain root access and knock out servers in a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.
With a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) v3 base score of 7.0, high severity, smart Linux administrators will patch their systems as soon as possible.
While Popov discovered the bugs in Red Hat's community Linux distribution Fedora 33 Server, it exists in the system using the Linux kernel from November 2019's version 5.5 to the current mainline kernel version 5.11-rc6.
