Last modified

CVE-2011-1494 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in the _ctl_do_mpt_command function in drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_ctl.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.38 and earlier might allow local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via an ioctl call specifying a crafted value that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
