|
| 2 |
Description:
|
| 3 |
Linux kernel before 2.6.22.17, when using certain drivers that register
|
| 4 |
a fault handler that does not perform range checks, allows local users
|
| 5 |
to access kernel memory via an out-of-range offset.

Ubuntu-Description:
|
| 8 |
It was discovered that some device driver fault handlers did not
|
| 9 |
correctly verify memory ranges. A local attacker could exploit this
|
| 10 |
to access sensitive kernel memory, possibly leading to a loss of privacy.
