CVE Details

Release Date:2017-01-11
Impact:Moderate What is this?

Description


The sg implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.9 does notproperly restrict write operations in situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which allows local users to read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg device, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576.
