CVE-2017-13694

20
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-13694 is a local information disclosure vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel through version 4.12.9. Specifically, the acpi_ps_complete_final_op() function fails to properly flush caches, leading to a kernel stack dump. This medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.5) allows a local attacker to obtain sensitive kernel memory information and potentially bypass Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR) via a crafted ACPI table. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
