Linux kernel denial of service vulnerability (CNVD-2016-09458)

The Linux kernel is the kernel used by the operating system Linux, released by the Linux Foundation in the United States. A denial of service vulnerability exists in the arch/arm64/kernel/perfevent.c file in versions of Linux kernel prior to 4.1 on arm64-based platforms. A local attacker can...

CVE-2015-8955

arch/arm64/kernel/perfevent.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1 on arm64 platforms allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service invalid pointer dereference via vectors involving events that are mishandled during a span of multiple HW PMUs...

CVE-2015-8955

CVE-2015-8955 affects the Linux kernel on arm64 (arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c) prior to 4.1. The issue arises from events across multiple HW PMUs being mishandled, allowing local users to gain privileges or trigger a denial of service via an invalid pointer dereference. Impact is limited to loc...
