A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel 2.6.22 (Operating System). It has been classified as problematic. Affected is the function lcd_write
of the file drivers/usb/misc/usblcd.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory allocation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-789. The product allocates memory based on an untrusted, large size value, but it does not ensure that the size is within expected limits, allowing arbitrary amounts of memory to be allocated. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:
The lcd_write function in drivers/usb/misc/usblcd.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22-rc7 does not limit the amount of memory used by a caller, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption).
The issue has been introduced in 07/08/2007. The weakness was published 06/11/2007 (Website). The advisory is available at vupen.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2007-3513 since 07/02/2007.
