CVE-2016-9576

Published: 28 December 2016

The blk_rq_map_user_iov function in block/blk-map.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.14 does not properly restrict the type of iterator, 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.

Notes

AuthorNote
sbeattie
requires access to /dev/sg*, which unprivileged users
normally do not have access to.
