Multiple vulnerabilities were identified in Linux Kernel, which may be exploited by local attackers to obtain elevated privileges or cause a denial of service. These flaws are due to input validation errors in the raw device and pktcdvd block device ioctl handlers when processing specially crafted arguments passed to the "raw_ioctl()", "pkt_ioctl()" and "ioctl_by_bdev()" functions, which may be exploited by malicious users to execute arbitrary commands with kernel privileges.
