CVE-2010-3448

Publication date 3 January 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 on ThinkPad devices, when the X.Org X server is used, does not properly restrict access to the video output control state, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via a (1) read or (2) write operation.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

Dan Jacobson discovered that ThinkPad video output was not correctly access controlled. A local attacker could exploit this to hang the system, leading to a denial of service.
