Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's macb network driver. A local user can exploit this vulnerability due to an out-of-bounds write in the gem_get_ethtool_stats function. This occurs when the driver incorrectly copies data using the maximum number of queues instead of the active number, leading to memory corruption. This can result in a kernel crash, causing a Denial of Service (DoS) for the system.
Mitigation
No mitigation is specified in collected source.
