CVE-2015-8569: Linux Kernel

Low severity, CVSS 2.3. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The (1) pptp_bind and (2) pptp_connect functions in drivers/net/ppp/pptp.c in the Linux kernel through 4.3.3 do not verify an address length, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: up to and including 4.3.2
