CVSS v2.0
6.9
Medium
| Vector | AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 3.12
Description
The issue is related to multiple integer overflows in Alchemy LCD frame-buffer drivers. Local users can create a read-write memory mapping for the entirety of kernel memory and gain privileges via crafted
mmap operations. This is related to the au1100fb fb mmap function in drivers/video/au1100fb.c and the au1200fb fb mmap function in drivers/video/au1200fb.c.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.12, update to version 3.12 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
au1100fb fb mmap and au1200fb fb mmap functions until a patch is available.Exploit
