CVE-2022-1462

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read flaw in the Linux kernel's TeleTYpe subsystem. It occurs due to a race condition triggered by a user using ioctls TIOCSPTLCK, TIOCGPTPEER, TIOCSTI, and TCXONC, resulting in memory leakage in the flush to ldisc function. This allows a local user to crash the system or read unauthorized random data from memory. The flaw can be exploited to gain access to confidential data and cause a denial of service.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
