LIN6-12466 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2017-5669

Created: Feb 27, 2017    Updated: Dec 3, 2018
Resolved Date: Mar 19, 2017
Found In Version: 6.0.0.32
Fix Version: 6.0.0.33
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 6
Component/s: Kernel

Description

The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.12 does not restrict the address calculated by a certain rounding operation, which allows local users to map page zero, and consequently bypass a protection mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by making crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a privileged context.
