In fact, performing relocations against the .notes\nsection means that the KASLR base is exposed since /sys/kernel/notes\nis world-readable.\n\nTo avoid leaking the KASLR base without breaking unprivileged tools that\nare expecting to read /sys/kernel/notes, skip performing relocations in\nthe .notes section. The values readable in .notes are then identical to\nthose found in System.map.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `linux_kernel >= 2.6.23, < 4.19.311`\n- `linux_kernel >= 4.20, < 5.4.273`\n- `linux_kernel >= 5.5, < 5.10.214`\n- `linux_kernel >= 5.11, < 5.15.153`\n- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.83`\n- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.23`\n- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.7.11`\n- `linux_kernel >= 6.8, < 6.8.2`\n- `linux_kernel >= 6.8.3, <= 6.8.12`\n- `debian_linux = 10.0`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `linux_kernel 6.8.2`","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":30,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":30.3,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
