Linux Kernel Omnikey CardMan 4040 Driver Local Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
The Linux kernel is prone to a local buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before using it in a memory copy operation. This issue allows local attackers to overwrite kernel memory with arbitrary data, potentially allowing them to execute malicious machine code in the context of affected kernels. Exploiting this vulnerability facilitates the complete compromise of affected computers. Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.21-rc3 are affected by this issue. |
