CVE-2016-10088

kernel: Use after free in SCSI generic device interface (CVE-2016-9576 regression)

Published Dec 30, 2016 CVSS 3.1 · 7.0 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The sg implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.9 does not properly restrict write operations in situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which allows local users to read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg device, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576.
