| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to a double-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's scsi: aacraid module. The
aac probe one() function calls hardware-specific init functions through the aac driver ident::init pointer, which eventually call down to aac init adapter(). If aac init adapter() fails after allocating memory for aac dev::queues, it frees the memory but does not clear that member. After the hardware-specific init function returns an error, aac probe one() goes down an error path that frees the memory pointed to by aac dev::queues, resulting in a double-free. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
