NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-4.9 package and not the linux-4.9 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The sr_do_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sr_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel through 4.16.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact because sense buffers have different sizes at the CDROM layer and the SCSI layer, as demonstrated by a CDROMREADMODE2 ioctl call.
