Severity Medium
Affected Packages 8
CVEs 1
Info Packages Vulnerabilities

The system could be made to crash or run programs as an administrator.

It was discovered that an integer overflow error existed in the SCSI
generic (sg) driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker with write
permission to a SCSI generic device could use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash) or potentially escalate their privileges.
