CWE-190

Description

In the Linux kernel before version 4.12, Kerberos 5 tickets decoded when using the RXRPC keys incorrectly assumes the size of a field. This could lead to the size-remaining variable wrapping and the data pointer going over the end of the buffer. This could possibly lead to memory corruption and possible privilege escalation.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (< 3.2.90) • linux linux kernel (>= 3.3 < 3.10.108) • linux linux kernel (>= 3.11 < 3.16.45) • linux linux kernel (>= 3.17 < 3.18.59) • linux linux kernel (>= 3.19 < 4.1.43) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.2 < 4.4.75) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.5 < 4.9.35) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.10 < 4.11.8) • debian debian linux 8.0 • debian debian linux 9.0 • redhat enterprise mrg 2.0
