CVE-2016-10088 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:7 kernel to version 0:3.10.0-693.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2017:1842.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel package and not the kernel package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The sg implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.9 does not properly restrict write operations in situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which allows local users to read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg device, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576.
