Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU6772
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-0350
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition or gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The weakness exists in the kernel mode layer handler due to improper validation of a value passed from a user to the driver. A local attacker can provide a specially crafted value that is used in an offset calculation, trigger NULL pointer dereference and cause denial of service or potentially escalate privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in full access to the system.
Ubuntu: 14.04 - 17.04
