CVE-2011-1747: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 4.7. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The agp subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.38.5 and earlier does not properly restrict memory allocation by the (1) AGPIOC_RESERVE and (2) AGPIOC_ALLOCATE ioctls, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by making many calls to these ioctls.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: before 2.6.38.5 (fixed in 2.6.38.5)
