| Revision Date: | 2018-07-06 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2018-13406 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (trusty) - medium. | | Description: | An integer overflow in the uvesafb_setcmap function in drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c in the Linux kernel before 4.17.4 could result in local attackers being able to crash the kernel or potentially elevate privileges because kmalloc_array is not used. Silvio Cesare discovered that the generic VESA frame buffer driver in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
