Subject: Re: [engineering.redhat.com #426293] CVE Request - firewire driver
RCE - linux 4.8
Hello,
The security patch was deployed yesterday in the official git repository of
linux, after the fix was reviewed and approved by me.
Therefore, CVE 2016-8633 can now be publicly disclosed.
Commit id of the fix:
667121ace9dbafb368618dbabcf07901c962ddac
https://git.kernel.org/linus/667121ace9db
Commit id of the mainline merge:
03daa36f089f31002a2d0fb22088d3ebe3e28d98
https://git.kernel.org/linus/03daa36f089f
Public disclosure details in my security blog:
https://eyalitkin.wordpress.com/2016/11/06/cve-
publication-cve-2016-8633/
P.S. I CCed oss-security since in a second CVE (not public yet) I was told
by your colleague to send the publication request to oss-security.
Thanks for your help,
Eyal Itkin.
