CVE-2017-13693: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2017-13693: The acpi_ds_create_operands() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/dsutils.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.9...

The acpi_ds_create_operands() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/dsutils.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.9 does not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel stack dump, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9) via a crafted ACPI table.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-13693 is a local Linux kernel information disclosure issue. A crafted ACPI table can trigger a kernel stack dump that may reveal kernel memory and weaken KASLR on older kernels. The supplied sources do not show remote exploitation or active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems running kernels through 4.12.9, especially where untrusted local users exist. KASLR bypass relevance is stated for kernels through 4.9. The source bundle does not identify distributions, packaged versions, or cloud images. Prioritize remediation where legacy Linux systems support multiple local users or sensitive workloads. This issue is unlikely to justify emergency response from the supplied evidence, but it can reduce kernel exploit protections and expose sensitive memory on affected hosts. Mitigation focus: Identify systems running Linux kernels through 4.12.9.; Check distribution or vendor advisories for backported fixes.; Review the referenced upstream kernel and ACPICA changes..
