CVE-2013-6378 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-6378): The lbs_debugfs_write function in drivers/net/wireless/libertas/debugfs.c in the Linux kernel through 3.12.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by leveraging root privileges for a zero-length write operation. Fix in 3.12.2 onwards |
From ${URL} : Linux kernel built with the Marvell 8xxx Libertas WLAN driver support (CONFIG_LIBERTAS) is vulnerable to an invalid pointer dereference flaw. It could occur while writing to a file under debugfs. A privileged user could use this flaw to crash the system resulting in DoS.
