Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: lzo - Fix compression buffer overrun
Unlike the decompression code, the compression code in LZO never
checked for output overruns. It instead assumes that the caller
always provides enough buffer space, disregarding the buffer length
provided by the caller.
Add a safe compression interface that checks for the end of buffer
before each write. Use the safe interface in crypto/lzo.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's LZO compression module. The compression code failed to check for output buffer overruns, assuming the caller provided adequate buffer space. A local attacker with low privileges could exploit this vulnerability to trigger a buffer overrun, potentially leading to a denial of service (DoS) or other system instability.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
