The (1) pipe_read and (2) pipe_write implementations in fs/pipe.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16 do not properly consider the side effects of failed __copy_to_user_inatomic and __copy_from_user_inatomic calls, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted application, aka an "I/O vector array overrun."

Vulnerabilidad en las implementaciones (1) pipe_read y (2) pipe_write en fs/pipe.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 3.16, no considera correctamente los efectos secundarios de llamadas __copy_to_user_inatomic y __copy_from_user_inatomic fallidas, lo que permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (caída del sistema) o posiblemente obtener privilegios a través de una aplicación manipulada, también conocida como una 'saturación del array del vector I/O'.
