An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6.7. xdp_umem_reg in net/xdp/xdp_umem.c has an out-of-bounds write (by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability) because of a lack of headroom validation.

CVE-2020-0067 [MEDIUM] Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
It was discovered that the F2FS file system implementation in the Linux
kernel did not properly perform bounds checking on xattrs in some
situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive
information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-0067)
It was discovered that memory contents previously stored in
microarchitectural special registers after RDRAND, RDSEED, and SGX EGETKEY
read operations on Intel client and Xeon E3 processors may be briefly
exposed to processes on the same or different processor cores. A local
attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-0543)

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will upd

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6.7. xdp_umem_reg in net/xdp/xdp_umem.c has an out-of-bounds write (by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability) because of a lack of headroom validation.
An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in the Network XDP (the eXpress Data Path) module in the Linux kernel's xdp_umem_reg function in net/xdp/xdp_umem.c. When a user with special user privilege of CAP_NET_ADMIN (or root) calls setsockopt to register umem ring on XDP socket, passing the headroom value larger than the available space in the chunk, it leads to an out-of-bounds write, causing panic or possible memory corruption. This flaw may lead to privile

CVE-2020-12659 kernel: xdp_umem_reg in net/xdp/xdp_umem.c has an out-of-bounds write which could result in crash and data coruption
An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in the Network XDP (the eXpress Data Path) module in the Linux kernel's xdp_umem_reg in net/xdp/xdp_umem.c. When a user with special user privilege of CAP_NET_ADMIN (or root) calls setsockopt to register umem ring on XDP socket, passing the headroom value larger than the available space in the chunk can leads to an out of bound write causing a panic or possible memory corruption. This may lead to privilege escalation if a local end user is granted permissions to influence the execution of code in this manner.
