| Revision Date: | 2017-04-23 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2017-8067 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) - medium. | | Description: | drivers/char/virtio_console.c in the Linux kernel 4.9.x and 4.10.x before 4.10.12 interacts incorrectly with the CONFIG_VMAP_STACK option, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash or memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging use of more than one virtual page for a DMA scatterlist. It was discovered that the virtio console driver in the Linux kernel improperly handled memory. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
