Descriptions

The sr_do_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sr_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel through 4.16.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact because sense buffers have different sizes at the CDROM layer and the SCSI layer, as demonstrated by a CDROMREADMODE2 ioctl call.

La función sr_do_ioctl en drivers/scsi/sr_ioctl.c en el kernel de Linux hasta 4.16.12 permite a los usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila) o, posiblemente, provocar otro impacto no especificado debido a que los búferes de sentido tienen diferentes tamaños en la capa de CDROM y en la capa SCSI, tal y como queda demostrado con una llamada ioctl CDROMREADMODE2.
