High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
openSUSE kernel-ps3-debuginfo versions (affected versions not specified)
openSUSE kernel-ps3-debugsource versions (affected versions not specified)
Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.32-git9
Description
The issue affects the Linux kernel and openSUSE operating system, involving multiple vulnerabilities in the kernel-ps3-debuginfo and kernel-ps3-debugsource packages. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely, potentially leading to a breach of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. In the Linux kernel, a local user can cause a denial of service or possibly have other unknown impacts via an unspecified ioctl associated with receiving an ISO packet that contains zero in the payload-length field in drivers/firewire/ohci.c when packet-per-buffer mode is used.
Recommendations
For openSUSE kernel-ps3-debuginfo and kernel-ps3-debugsource, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
For Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.32-git9, update to version 2.6.32-git9 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
drivers/firewire/ohci.c module to minimize the risk of exploitation.DoS
