Created: Nov 17, 2016    Updated: Sep 8, 2018
Resolved Date: Nov 21, 2016
Found In Version: 7.0.0.5
Fix Version: 7.0.0.22

Description

The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node function in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 does not check whether a slot is a leaf, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and out-of-bounds read) via an application that uses associative-array data structures, as demonstrated by the keyutils test suite.
