Linux kernel versions prior to 3.3.7
Description
The issue allows local users to write data to an Ethernet adapter via an ioctl call due to the rio ioctl function in drivers/net/ethernet/dlink/dl2k.c not restricting access to the SIOCSMIIREG command.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 3.3.7, update to version 3.3.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the SIOCSMIIREG command to minimize the risk of exploitation.
