| Vetor | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 4.11.8
Description
The issue is related to the
intr function in sound/oss/msnd pinnacle.c, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have other unspecified impacts. This is due to a "double fetch" vulnerability, where the value of a message queue head pointer can be changed between two kernel reads, resulting in over-boundary access. The vulnerability can be exploited by a local attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially other effects.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.11.8, update to version 4.11.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
sound/oss/msnd pinnacle.c module to minimize the risk of exploitation.Correção
