Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Broadcom Starfighter 2 (bcm_sf2) network switch driver. An unprivileged local user can exploit this vulnerability by issuing a network control request to retrieve classification rules while providing a buffer size smaller than the number of active rules. Because the driver does not validate the user-supplied buffer limit, it can write data beyond the allocated memory or dereference a null pointer, leading to kernel memory corruption or a Denial of Service (DoS).
