Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppdev: Add an error check in register_device
In register_device, the return value of ida_simple_get is unchecked,
in witch ida_simple_get will use an invalid index value.
To address this issue, index should be checked after ida_simple_get. When
the index value is abnormal, a warning message should be printed, the port
should be dropped, and the value should be recorded.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's parallel port device (ppdev) driver. When registering a device, the driver fails to properly validate the return value of an identifier allocation request. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to force the kernel to use an invalid index, potentially leading to a system crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as having a Low severity impact because exploitation requires local access and relies on the parallel port character device interface, which is rarely utilized in modern enterprise environments. An unprivileged local user interacting with the parallel port device registration path could trigger an unhandled index allocation error, leading to a kernel crash and denial of service. The impact is strictly confined to system availability, with no compromise to data confidentiality or integrity.
