CWE-119

Description

The sg_build_indirect function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in Linux kernel 2.6.28-rc1 through 2.6.31-rc8 uses an incorrect variable when accessing an array, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel OOPS and NULL pointer dereference), as demonstrated by using xcdroast to duplicate a CD. NOTE: this is only exploitable by users who can open the cdrom device.

Affected configurations

• kernel linux kernel 2.6.28-rc1 • linux linux kernel 2.6.31-rc2 • linux linux kernel 2.6.31-rc3 • linux linux kernel 2.6.31-rc4 • linux linux kernel 2.6.31-rc5 • linux linux kernel 2.6.31-rc6 • linux linux kernel 2.6.31-rc7 • linux linux kernel 2.6.31-rc8 • linux linux kernel 2.6.31-rc9 • linux linux kernel 2.6.31-rc10
