NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-xen-devel package and not the kernel-xen-devel package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

The (1) aac_cfg_open and (2) aac_compat_ioctl functions in the SCSI layer ioctl path in aacraid in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23-rc2 do not check permissions for ioctls, which might allow local users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges.
