Descriptions
Integer overflow in the sg_start_req function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.x through 4.x before 4.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large iov_count value in a write request.
Desbordamiento de entero en la función sg_start_req en drivers/scsi/sg.c en el kernel de Linux 2.6.x hasta la versión 4.x en versiones anteriores a 4.1 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de un valor iov_count grande en una petición de escritura.
It was discovered that an integer overflow error existed in the SCSI generic (sg) driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker with write permission to a SCSI generic device could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or potentially escalate their privileges. Lureau discovered that the vhost driver did not properly release the userspace provided log file descriptor. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion). Various other issues were also addressed.
