NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream realtime-kernel package and not the realtime-kernel package as distributed by RHEL.

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.
