CVE-2017-18344 (GCVE-0-2017-18344)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2018-07-26 19:00 – Updated: 2024-08-05 21:20
VLAI?
Summary
The timer_create syscall implementation in kernel/time/posix-timers.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.8 doesn't properly validate the sigevent->sigev_notify field, which leads to out-of-bounds access in the show_timer function (called when /proc/$PID/timers is read). This allows userspace applications to read arbitrary kernel memory (on a kernel built with CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE).
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
