Description:
A vulnerability with unknown impact has been reported in the Linux Kernel.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "isdn_net_setcfg()" function in drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_net.c when processing IOCTL configuration requests sent to the ISDN pseudo device (/dev/isdnctrl). This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted IIOCNETSCF IOCTL request.
Successful exploitation requires write access to /dev/isdnctrl.
The vulnerability is reported in version 2.6.23. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 2.4.35.5 or 2.6.23.10.
