GLSA-201612-02 : DavFS2: Local privilege escalation

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201612-02 DavFS2: Local privilege escalation DavFS2 installs /usr/sbin/mount.davfs as setuid root. This utility uses system to call /sbin/modprobe. While the call to modprobe itself cannot be manipulated, a local authenticated use...

DavFS2: Local privilege escalation

Background DavFS2 is a file system driver that allows you to mount a WebDAV server as a local disk drive. Description DavFS2 installs “/usr/sbin/mount.davfs” as setuid root. This utility uses “system” to call “/sbin/modprobe”. While the call to “modprobe” itself cannot be manipulated, a local...

The vulnerability of the loaded module for kernel drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_imon.ko in the Linux operating system allows a hacker to cause a service failure.

The vulnerability of the loaded module containing the Linux kernel’s drivers/staging/media/lirc/lircimon.ko is related to mutual locking in the implementation of the imonprobe handler. Exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a system failure when connecting the SoundGraph iMON...
