CVE-2013-6383

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 3.11.8

Description The issue allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted ioctl call due to the lack of privilege level checking in the aac compat ioctl function. This could potentially lead to privilege escalation.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.11.8, update to version 3.11.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the aac compat ioctl function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
