Descriptions

The i915 driver in (1) drivers/char/drm/i915_dma.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.24 on Debian GNU/Linux and (2) sys/dev/pci/drm/i915_drv.c in OpenBSD does not restrict the DRM_I915_HWS_ADDR ioctl to the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) master, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted ioctl call, related to absence of the DRM_MASTER and DRM_ROOT_ONLY flags in the ioctl's configuration.

El driver i915 en (1) drivers/char/drm/i915_dma.c en el kernel v2.6.24 de Linux en Debian GNU/Linux y (2) sys/dev/pci/drm/i915_drv.c en OpenBSD no restringe el DRM_I915_HWS_ADDR ioctl al Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) master, lo cual permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) mediante una llamada ioctl manipulada, relacionado con la ausencia de los indicadores DRM_MASTER y DRM_ROOT_ONLY en la configuración de los ioctl.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service, privilege escalation or a leak of sensitive data.
