Description

A security issue has been reported in the Linux Kernel, which can be exploited by malicious, local 
users to bypass certain security restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to the AACRAID driver not correctly checking the privileges for 
compat IOCTLs. This can be exploited to perform otherwise restricted operations by sending certain 
compat IOCTLs to the driver.

This is related to:
SA26322

The security issue is reported in versions 2.6.32.61, 2.6.34.14, 3.2.52, 3.4.67, 3.10.17, and 
3.11.6.


Solution:
Fixed in the git repository.

Provided and/or discovered by:
Dan Carpenter within a git commit.

Comment 1 GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2013-11-27 21:44:02 UTC 
CVE-2013-6383 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-6383):
  The aac_compat_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c in the Linux
  kernel before 3.11.8 does not require the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability, which
  allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted
  ioctl call.
