Vulnerability CVE-2017-13693

Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2017-13693 (CCN-131024)

Assigned:

2017-08-25

Published:

2017-08-25

Updated:

2017-09-20

Summary:

The acpi_ds_create_operands() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/dsutils.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.9 does not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel stack dump, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9) via a crafted ACPI table.
