Description

linux-azure-fips vulnerabilities

Qualys discovered that several vulnerabilities existed in the AppArmor

Linux kernel Security Module (LSM). An unprivileged local attacker could

use these issues to load, replace, and remove arbitrary AppArmor profiles

causing denial of service, exposure of sensitive information (kernel

memory), local privilege escalation, or possibly escape a container.
