LIN1018-4537 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2019-14284

Created: Jul 28, 2019    Updated: Aug 21, 2019
Resolved Date: Aug 11, 2019
Found In Version: 10.18.44.1
Fix Version: 10.18.44.10
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 18
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, drivers/block/floppy.c allows a denial of service by setup_format_params division-by-zero. Two consecutive ioctls can trigger the bug: the first one should set the drive geometry with .sect and .rate values that make F_SECT_PER_TRACK be zero. Next, the floppy format operation should be called. It can be triggered by an unprivileged local user even when a floppy disk has not been inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by default.
