CVE-2018-18386

drivers/tty/n_tty.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a la 4.14.11 permite que atacantes locales (que pueden acceder a los pseudoterminales) bloqueen el uso de dispositivos pseudoterminal debido a una confusión EXTPROC versus ICANON en TIOCINQ.

A security flaw was found in the Linux kernel in drivers/tty/n_tty.c which allows local attackers (ones who are able to access pseudo terminals) to lock them up and block further usage of any pseudo terminal devices due to an EXTPROC versus ICANON confusion in TIOCINQ handler.

It was discovered that a NULL pointer dereference existed in the keyring subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the raw MIDI driver for the Linux kernel, leading to a double free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
