CVE-2018-18386 kernel: Type confusion in drivers/tty/n_tty.c allows for a denial of service
Last modified: 2018-10-23 01:43:31 EDT
drivers/tty/n_tty.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.11 allows local attackers (who are able to access pseudo terminals) to hang/block further usage of any pseudo terminal devices due to an EXTPROC versus ICANON confusion in TIOCINQ.
