Detail

The fill_write_buffer function in sysfs/file.c in Linux kernel 2.6.12 up to versions before 2.6.17-rc1 does not zero terminate a buffer when a length of PAGE_SIZE or more is requested, which might allow local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by causing an out-of-bounds read.

Id Description
24443 Linux Kernel sysfs Crafted Write Local DoS

The Linux Kernel contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when exactly or more than the platform processor's page size of data is written to a 'sysfs' file. Lack of termination of a buffer in the 'fill_write_buffer()' function will result in a kernel panic and hence in loss of availability for the platform.
