CVE-2018-16885

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel version 3.10.x

Description The issue is related to a flaw in the Linux kernel that allows userspace to call functions like memcpy fromiovecend() with a zero offset and buffer length, causing a read beyond buffer boundaries. This can lead to a memory access fault and a system halt by accessing an invalid memory address. The exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to cause a denial of service.

Recommendations For Linux kernel version 3.10.x, consider disabling the memcpy fromiovecend() function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to similar functions that may cause buffer boundary overflows to minimize the risk of exploitation.
