An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Frame Buffer device implementation mapped kernel memory to user space via the mmap syscall. A local user able to access a frame buffer device file (/dev/fb*) could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.

Description Vincent Danen 2013-11-25 18:31:20 EST 
Linux kernel built with the Frame Buffer devices support(CONFIG_FB) is
vulnerable to an integer overflow flaw. It could occur while mapping memory via
mmap2(2) call. User would need to have privileges to access the video device files /dev/fb* etc.

A user/program able to access the video device files could use this flaw to potentially escalate privileges on a system.

Comment 1 Prasad J Pandit 2013-11-27 02:25:04 EST 
Statement:

This issue does not affect the version of the kernel package as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.

This issue affects the versions of Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Future kernel updates for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 may address this issue.
