CVE-2017-13694

kernel: ACPI node and node_ext cache leak

Published Aug 25, 2017 CVSS 3.0 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The acpi_ps_complete_final_op() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/psobject.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.9 does not flush the node and node_ext caches and causes a kernel stack dump, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9) via a crafted ACPI table.
