CWE-264  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 kernel-headers to version 0:2.6.32-431.17.1.el6 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-headers package and not the kernel-headers package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
