"Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
may lead to a denial of service or information leaks.
- CVE-2013-6885
It was discovered that under specific circumstances, a
combination of write operations to write-combined memory
and locked CPU instructions may cause a core hang on AMD
16h 00h through 0Fh processors. A local user can use
this flaw to mount a denial of service (system hang) via
a crafted application.
For more information please refer to the AMD CPU erratum 793 in
http://support.amd.com/TechDocs/51810_16h_00h-0Fh_Rev_Guide.pdf
- CVE-2014-8133
It was found that the espfix funcionality can be
bypassed by installing a 16-bit RW data segment into GDT
instead of LDT (which espfix checks for) and using it
for stack. A local unprivileged user could potentially
use this flaw to leak kernel stack addresses and thus
allowing to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism.
- CVE-2014-9419
It was found that on Linux kernels compiled with the 32
bit interfaces (CONFIG_X86_32) a malicious user program
can do a partial ASLR bypass through TLS base addresses
leak when attacking other programs.
- CVE-2014-9529
It was discovered that the Linux kernel is affected by a
race condition flaw when doing key garbage collection,
allowing local users to cause a denial of service
(memory corruption or panic).
- CVE-2014-9584
It was found that the Linux kernel does not validate a
length value in the Extensions Reference (ER) System Use
Field, which allows local users to obtain sensitive
information from kernel memory via a crafted iso9660
image."
