Last modified
CVE-2017-9211 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The crypto_skcipher_init_tfm function in crypto/skcipher.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.2 relies on a setkey function that lacks a key-size check, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted application.. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
