Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Linux Kernel up to 5.2.2 (Operating System). Affected by this issue is the function setup_format_params of the file drivers/block/floppy.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a divide by zero vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-369. The product divides a value by zero. Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, drivers/block/floppy.c allows a denial of service by setup_format_params division-by-zero. Two consecutive ioctls can trigger the bug: the first one should set the drive geometry with .sect and .rate values that make F_SECT_PER_TRACK be zero. Next, the floppy format operation should be called. It can be triggered by an unprivileged local user even when a floppy disk has not been inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by default.

The weakness was shared 07/26/2019 (Website). The advisory is available at seclists.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2019-14284 since 07/26/2019. Local access is required to approach this attack. A simple authentication is required for exploitation. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.

Upgrading to version 5.2.3 eliminates this vulnerability.
