CVE-2017-8068
Last modified
CVE-2017-8068 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. drivers/net/usb/pegasus.c in the Linux kernel 4.9.x before 4.9.11 interacts incorrectly with the CONFIG_VMAP_STACK option, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash or memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging use of more than one virtual page for a DMA scatterlist.. EPSS estimates a 0.47% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
