Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel version 4.14.90
Description:
The issue concerns the
hidma chan stats function in the Linux kernel, which allows local users to obtain sensitive address information. This is achieved by reading callback= lines in a debugfs file.Recommendations:
For Linux kernel version 4.14.90, consider restricting access to the debugfs file to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, limiting the readability of the
callback= lines may help mitigate the issue until a patch is available. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
