| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 3.17.4
Description
The issue is a stack-based buffer overflow in the
ttusbdecfe dvbs diseqc send master cmd function, which can be triggered by a large message length in an ioctl call. This can cause a denial of service, resulting in a system crash, or potentially allow local users to gain privileges.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.17.4, update to version 3.17.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
ttusbdecfe dvbs diseqc send master cmd function to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
