CVE-2017-13694: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2017-13694: The acpi_ps_complete_final_op() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/psobject.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12...

The acpi_ps_complete_final_op() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/psobject.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.9 does not flush the node and node_ext caches 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-2017-13694 is a Linux kernel information-disclosure issue in ACPI handling. A local user using a crafted ACPI table could trigger a kernel stack dump and expose sensitive kernel memory, including information useful for bypassing KASLR on kernels through 4.9. Exposure is most relevant to systems running Linux kernels through 4.12.9, especially where local users can influence or load ACPI tables. The supplied data does not identify specific distributions or backported fixes. Treat this as a moderate-priority legacy Linux exposure. It requires local access, but it can leak kernel memory and weaken protections that make other kernel attacks harder. Prioritize internet-facing multi-user hosts, shared compute, and unsupported kernels. Mitigation focus: Check Linux distribution advisories for CVE-2017-13694 fixes or backports.; Upgrade affected kernels through vendor-supported kernel packages.; Restrict local access paths that permit ACPI table override or injection..
