CVE-2017-13693

5.5 mediumEPSS 0.4%

Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.
