In the specific configuration of the fuzzer, the system was found to crash with a use-after-free condition. This could be exploited by a local attacker to crash the system.
RCE was found in the Linux kernel. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), and potentially run arbitrary code on the system. This vulnerability does not affect Ubuntu/Mint/Debian users who are running a supported version of Linux. It was found on Ubuntu 16.04. It could be exploited by tricking a victim into installing a malicious package. A attacker could leverage this vulnerability to run arbitrary code on the affected system. It was found on Debian 9. It could be exploited by tricking a victim into installing a malicious package. A attacker could leverage this vulnerability to run arbitrary code on the affected system. It was found on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to run arbitrary code on the affected system. It was found on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12. It could be exploited by tricking a victim into installing a malicious package. A attacker could leverage this vulnerability to run arbitrary code on the affected system. It was found on Gentoo Linux. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to run arbitrary code on the affected system. It was found on OpenSuSE. It could be exploited by tricking a victim into installing a malicious package

Impact

"This vulnerability does not affect Ubuntu/Mint/Debian users who are running a supported version of Linux."
