CVE-2017-7187

La función sg_ioctl en drivers/scsi/sg.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.10.4 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de un gran tamaño de comando en una llamada SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl, conduciendo a acceso de escritura fuera de límites en la función sg_write.

The sg_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impacts via a large command size in an SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl call, leading to out-of-bounds write access in the sg_write function.

USN-3358-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 17.04. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement kernel from Ubuntu 17.04 for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Please note that this update changes the Linux HWE kernel to the 4.10 based kernel from Ubuntu 17.04, superseding the 4.8 based HWE kernel from Ubuntu 16.10. Ben Harris discovered that the Linux kernel would strip extended privilege attributes of files when performing a failed unprivileged system call. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
