Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The vulnerability is related to the phonet/pep component of the Linux kernel, which incorrectly handles unbound pipes. This can lead to two problems: sending a pipe enablement request with an invalid source object and later socket calls potentially causing a bug due to the socket being connected yet not bound to a valid object. The issue is associated with the ioctl() function implicitly assuming a bound socket.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
