kernel: Use after free in SCSI generic device interface (CVE-2016-9576 regression)

It was found that the fix for CVE-2016-9576 was incomplete: the Linux kernel's sg implementation did not properly restrict write operations in situations where the KERNELDS option is set. A local attacker to read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service...

kernel: Use after free in SCSI generic device interface

It was found that the blkrqmapuseriov function in the Linux kernel's block device implementation did not properly restrict the type of iterator, which could allow a local attacker to read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service use-after-free by leveraging write...
