5.5
Medium
| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 5.17-rc1
Description
The issue is related to an information leak flaw in the Linux kernel's TIPC protocol subsystem. This flaw occurs due to uninitialized memory when a user sends a TIPC datagram to one or more destinations, allowing a local user to read some kernel memory. The issue is limited to no more than 7 bytes, and the user cannot control what is read.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 5.17-rc1, update to version 5.17-rc1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the TIPC protocol subsystem until a patch is available.
