Un desbordamiento de enteros en la función qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom_ctl en drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.12.10 permite que los usuarios locales provoquen una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y fallo de sistema) con acceso root.

Anthony Perard discovered that the Xen virtual block driver did not properly initialize some data structures before passing them to user space. A local attacker in a guest VM could use this to expose sensitive information from the host OS or other guest VMs. Bo Zhang discovered that the netlink wireless configuration interface in the Linux kernel did not properly validate attributes when handling certain requests. A local attacker with the CAP_NET_ADMIN could use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
