CVE-2017-14489 kernel: scsi: nlmsg is not properly parsed in iscsi_if_rx function
Last modified: 2018-08-28 18:21:40 EDT
The iscsi_if_rx() function in 'drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c' in the Linux kernel since v2.6.24-rc1 through 4.13.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (a system panic) by making a number of certain syscalls by leveraging incorrect length validation in the kernel code.
