Descriptions

In the Linux kernel before 4.12, Hisilicon Network Subsystem (HNS) does not consider the ETH_SS_PRIV_FLAGS case when retrieving sset_count data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact, as demonstrated by incompatibility between hns_get_sset_count and ethtool_get_strings.

En el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a la 4.12, Hisilicon Network Subsystem (HNS) no considera el caso ETH_SS_PRIV_FLAGS a la hora de recuperar los datos de sset_count, lo que permite que los usuarios locales provoquen una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de búfer y corrupción de memoria) o, posiblemente, otro impacto no especificado, tal y como ha quedado demostrado por la incompatibilidad entre hns_get_sset_count y ethtool_get_strings.
