CVE-2013-6380: Input Validation
Last updated 24 July 2024
Other sources
Linux kernel built with a Adaptec RAID controllers support(CONFIGSCSIAACRAID) is vulnerable to a invalid pointer dereference flaw. It could occur while doing an ioctl(2) call with a FSACTLSENDRAWSRB command.
A privileged(CAPSYSADMIN) user/program could use this flaw to make kernel dereference invalid pointer which results in kernel crash (DoS) or could, potentially, result in privilege escalation.

— Red Hat
The aacsendrawsrb function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel through 3.12.1 does not properly validate a certain size value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an FSACTLSENDRAWSRB ioctl call that triggers a crafted SRB command.
