Linux Kernel IOPERM System Call I/O Port Access Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been discovered in the ioperm system call for Linux. Due to a programming error, permissions may not be correctly configured on I/O ports used by a process. As a result, an unprivileged local user may be capable of reading and writing to I/O port addresses which they would not normally have access to.
