Subject: CVE-2017-14991 in the Linux Kernel: local infoleak via an
SG_GET_REQUEST_TABLE ioctl call for /dev/sg0
Hello,
Kernel commit 109bade9c625c89bb5ea753aaa1a0a97e6fbb548 has introduced
an infoleak which manifests when the SG_GET_REQUEST_TABLE ioctl is
called for /dev/sg0 (see the attached repro).
The bug allows local users to obtain sensitive information from
uninitialized kernel heap-memory locations. Linux kernels before
4.13.4 are affected.
The bug has been found with syzkaller and KMSAN, upstream fix is here:
