First published: Tue Sep 25 2018(Updated: )
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation of the SAS expander subsystem, where a race condition exists in the smp_task_timedout() and smp_task_done() in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c. An attacker could abuse this flaw to corrupt memory and escalate privileges.
