The kernel is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS). A flaw in the Linux kernelβs packet writing driver could be triggered via the PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS IOCTL request, possibly allowing a local, unprivileged user with access to β/dev/pktcdvd/controlβ to cause an information leak. Note: By default, only users in the cdrom group have access to β/dev/pktcdvd/controlβ.
