CVE-2021-47086

MEDIUM

Linux Kernel < 4.4.297 - Denial of Service via Unbound Phonet Pipe Ioctl

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: phonet/pep: refuse to enable an unbound pipe This ioctl() implicitly assumed that the socket was already bound to a valid local socket name, i.e. Phonet object. If the socket was not bound, two separate problems would occur: 1) We'd send an pipe enablement request with an invalid source object. 2) Later socket calls could BUG on the socket unexpectedly being connected yet not bound to a valid object.
