kernel: Stack overflow via ecryptfs and /proc/$pid/environ
It was found that stacking a file system over procfs in the Linux kernel could lead to a kernel stack overflow due to deep nesting, as demonstrated by mounting ecryptfs over procfs and creating a recursion by mapping /proc/environ. An unprivileged, local user could potentially use this flaw to...

ecryptfs-utils: privilege escalation
An unprivileged user can mount an ecryptfs over /proc/$pid because according to stat, it is a normal directory and owned by the user. However, the user is not actually permitted to create arbitrary directory entries in /proc/$pid, and ecryptfs' behavior might be enabling privilege escalation...
[SECURITY] [DLA 397-1] ecryptfs-utils security update
Package : ecryptfs-utils Version : 83-4+squeeze2 CVE ID : CVE-2016-1572 Jann Horn discovered that the setuid-root mount.ecryptfsprivate helper in the ecryptfs-utils would mount over any target directory that the user owns, including a directory in procfs. A local attacker could use this flaw to...
CVE-2013-4740
goodixtool.c in the Goodix gt915 touchscreen driver for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center QuIC Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, relies on user-space length values for kernel-memory copies of procfs file content, which allows attackers to gain...

OpenSSH 6.6 SFTP Misconfiguration Proof Of Concept
OpenSSH lets you grant SFTP access to users without allowing full command execution using "ForceCommand internal-sftp". However, if you misconfigure the server and don't use ChrootDirectory, the user will be able to access all parts of the filesystem that he has access to - including procfs. On...
