Details
A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Linux Kernel 3.12 (Operating System). This affects the function aac_compat_do_ioctl of the file drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c of the component Adaptec RAID Controller Support. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a access control vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-264. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
The aac_compat_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11.8 does not require the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted ioctl call.
The weakness was presented 10/30/2013 by Fabian Yamaguchi and Nico Golde as Linux kernel CVE fixes as confirmed mailinglist post (oss-sec). The advisory is shared at seclists.org. The public release was coordinated in cooperation with Linux. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2013-6383 since 11/04/2013. An attack has to be approached locally. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1068 for this issue.
