Description Sam Fowler 2018-04-23 23:43:30 EDT
The Linux kernel from version 3.4 through 4.15 has an integer overflow vulnerability in the drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c:udl_fb_mmap() function. An attacker with access to the udldrmfb driver could exploit this to obtain full read and write permissions on kernel physical pages, resulting in a code execution in kernel space.
