CWE-119

Description

The cifs_iovec_write function in fs/cifs/file.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.5 does not properly handle uncached write operations that copy fewer than the requested number of bytes, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash), or possibly gain privileges via a writev system call with a crafted pointer.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (< 3.2.57) • linux linux kernel (>= 3.3 < 3.4.83) • linux linux kernel (>= 3.5 < 3.10.33) • linux linux kernel (>= 3.11 < 3.12.14) • linux linux kernel (>= 3.13 < 3.13.6) • suse linux enterprise desktop 11 • suse linux enterprise server 11 • redhat enterprise linux desktop 6.0 • redhat enterprise linux eus 6.5 • redhat enterprise linux server 6.0 • redhat enterprise linux server aus 6.5 • redhat enterprise linux server tus 6.5 • redhat enterprise linux workstation 6.0
