NVD Description

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

The arcmsr_iop_message_xfer function in drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 does not restrict a certain length field, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via an ARCMSR_MESSAGE_WRITE_WQBUFFER control code.
