Denial Of Service (DoS)

kernel is vulnerable to denial of service DoS. The vulnerability exists as a flaw was found in the priotree handling of the hugetlb support that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service. This only affected kernels with hugetlb support...

kernel: userfaultfd bypasses tmpfs file permissions

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel with files on tmpfs and hugetlbfs. An attacker is able to bypass file permissions on filesystems mounted with tmpfs/hugetlbs to modify a file and possibly disrupt normal system behavior. At this time there is an understanding there is no crash or privilege...
