Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.25.1

Description The issue is related to the bdx ioctl priv function in the tehuti driver, which does not properly check certain information related to register size. This has an unspecified impact and can be exploited through local attack vectors, likely related to reading or writing kernel memory.
