CVE-2011-1746: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 6.9. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Multiple integer overflows in the (1) agp_allocate_memory and (2) agp_create_user_memory functions in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38.5 allow local users to trigger buffer overflows, and consequently cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact, via vectors related to calls that specify a large number of memory pages.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: before 2.6.38.5 (fixed in 2.6.38.5)
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux: version 5.0 only
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Aus: version 5.6 only
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop: version 5.0 only
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Eus: version 5.6 only
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server: version 5.0 only
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation: version 5.0 only
