CVE-2017-13695

kernel: ACPI operand cache leak in nseval.c

Published Aug 25, 2017 CVSS 3.0 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The acpi_ns_evaluate() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/nseval.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.9 does not flush the operand cache 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.
