CVE-2017-1000363

kernel: Out-of-bounds write in lp_setup in drivers/char/lp.c

Published Jul 13, 2017 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Linux drivers/char/lp.c Out-of-Bounds Write. Due to a missing bounds check, and the fact that parport_ptr integer is static, a 'secure boot' kernel command line adversary (can happen due to bootloader vulns, e.g. Google Nexus 6's CVE-2016-10277, where due to a vulnerability the adversary has partial control over the command line) can overflow the parport_nr array in the following code, by appending many (>LP_NO) 'lp=none' arguments to the command line.
