kernel: DoS with syscall auditing

An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's system call auditing implementation. On a system with existing audit rules defined, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak kernel memory to user space or, potentially, crash the system...

USN-2314-1 linux vulnerability

An flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's audit subsystem when auditing certain syscalls. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to obtain potentially sensitive single-bit values from kernel memory or cause a denial of service OOPS...

kernel: s390: ptrace: insufficient sanitization when setting psw mask

It was found that Linux kernel's ptrace subsystem did not properly sanitize the address-space-control bits when the program-status word PSW was being set. On IBM S/390 systems, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to set address-space-control bits to the kernel space, and thus gain read...
