The vulnerabilities of the functions sf_pdma_alloc_desc() and sf_pdma_desc_residue() in the drivers/dma/sf-pdma/sf-pdma.c module of the Linux kernel’s DMA driver software allow attackers to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of protected information.

The vulnerability of the functions sfpdmaallocdesc and sfpdmadescresidue in the drivers/dma/sf-pdma/sf-pdma.c module of the Linux kernel’s DMA driver lies in the use of pointers. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility ...

USN-1105-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
