** Description changed: - A buffer overflow flaw was found in kernels from 3.0 to 3.4 when calling - log_prefix() function from call_console_drivers(). + The log_prefix function in kernel/printk.c in the Linux kernel 3.x + before 3.4.33 does not properly remove a prefix string from a syslog + header, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer + overflow and system crash) by leveraging /dev/kmsg write access and + triggering a call_console_drivers function call. Break-Fix: 162a7e7500f9664636e649ba59defe541b7c2c60 7ff9554bb578ba02166071d2d487b7fc7d860d62
