Description Marcel Holtmann 2007-08-15 09:43:03 UTC 
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2007-4308
to the following vulnerability:

The (1) aac_cfg_open and (2) aac_compat_ioctl functions in the SCSI layer ioctl path in aacraid in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23-rc2 do not check permissions for ioctls, which might allow local users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges.
