Descriptions

A race problem was seen in the vt_k_ioctl in drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel, which may cause an out of bounds read in vt as the write access to vc_mode is not protected by lock-in vt_ioctl (KDSETMDE). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

Se observó un problema de carrera en el la función vt_k_ioctl en el archivo drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c en el kernel de Linux, que puede causar una lectura fuera de límites en vt ya que el acceso de escritura a vc_mode no está protegido por el bloqueo de vt_ioctl (KDSETMDE). La mayor amenaza de esta vulnerabilidad es para la confidencialidad de los datos
