Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in the tg3_read_vpd function in drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.6 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted firmware that specifies a long string in the Vital Product Data (VPD) data structure.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica en la función tg3_read_vpd en drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c en el kernel de Linux anterior a v3.8.3 que permite a a atacantes físicamente cercanos causar una denegación de servicios (caída del sistema) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de firmware manipulado que especifica una cadena larga en la estructura de datos Vital Prduct Data (VPD)
