CVE-2007-3105

Bound check ordering issue in random driver

Published Jul 27, 2007 CVSS 2.0 · 4.6 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Stack-based buffer overflow in the random number generator (RNG) implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 might allow local root users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges by setting the default wakeup threshold to a value greater than the output pool size, which triggers writing random numbers to the stack by the pool transfer function involving "bound check ordering". NOTE: this issue might only cross privilege boundaries in environments that have granular assignment of privileges for root.
