Created: Sep 16, 2018    Updated: May 18, 2019
Resolved Date: Nov 1, 2018
Found In Version: 7.0.0.29
Fix Version: 7.0.0.30

Applicable for: Wind River Linux 7
Component/s: Kernel

Description

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.6. An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_drive_status in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940.
