CVE-2017-8066 kernel: gs_usb.c interacts incorrectly with the CONFIG_VMAP_STACK option
Last modified: 2017-04-25 10:00:57 EDT
drivers/net/can/usb/gs_usb.c in the Linux kernel 4.9.x and 4.10.x before 4.10.2 interacts incorrectly with the CONFIG_VMAP_STACK option, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash or memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging use of more than one virtual page for a DMA scatterlist.
