Descriptions

The rds_ib_laddr_check function in net/rds/ib.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a bind system call for an RDS socket on a system that lacks RDS transports.

La función rds_ib_laddr_check en net/rds/ib.c en el kernel de Linux anterior a 3.12.8 permite a usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (referencia de puntero nulo y caída de sistema) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de una llamada de sistema bind para un socket RDS en un sistema que carece de transportes RDS.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the rds_ib_laddr_check() function in the Linux kernel's implementation of Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS). A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system.
