Linux kernel kernel security protection bypass vulnerability

The Linux kernel is a computer operating system kernel written in C and assembly language, compliant with the POSIX standard, and distributed under the GNU General Public License. A kernel security protection bypass vulnerability exists in the fdlockedioctl function in drivers/block/floppy.c in...

UBUNTU-CVE-2018-7755

An issue was discovered in the fdlockedioctl function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.7. The floppy driver will copy a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM ioctl. An attacker can send the FDGETPRM ioctl and use the obtained kernel pointer to discove...
