CVE-2019-12456

Name	CVE-2019-12456
Description	DISPUTED An issue was discovered in the MPT3COMMAND case in _ctl_ioctl_main in drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_ctl.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.5. It allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by changing the value of ioc_number between two kernel reads of that value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability. NOTE: a third party reports that this is unexploitable because the doubly fetched value is not used.
Source	CVE (at NVD; CERT, LWN, oss-sec, fulldisc, bugtraq, EDB, Metasploit, Red Hat, Ubuntu, Gentoo, SUSE bugzilla/CVE, Mageia, GitHub code/issues, web search, more)

Vulnerable and fixed packages

The table below lists information on source packages.

Source Package	Release	Version	Status
linux (PTS)	jessie, jessie (lts)	3.16.84-1	vulnerable
	stretch (security)	4.9.320-2	vulnerable
	stretch (lts), stretch	4.9.320-3	vulnerable
	buster	4.19.249-2	vulnerable
	buster (security)	4.19.269-1	vulnerable
	bullseye	5.10.158-2	vulnerable
	bullseye (security)	5.10.162-1	vulnerable
	sid, bookworm	6.1.20-1	vulnerable

The information below is based on the following data on fixed versions.

Package	Type	Release	Fixed Version	Urgency	Origin	Debian Bugs
linux	source	wheezy	(unfixed)	end-of-life
linux	source	(unstable)	(unfixed)	unimportant

The double-fetched value is not used after the second fetch, thus an invalid issue
from security impact perspective. CVE should probably be rejected.
