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...

CVE-2014-3534

CVE-2014-3534 (Linux kernel, s390) : The vulnerability in arch/s390/kernel/ ptrace.c allows a local user to bypass restrictions on address-space control with PTRACE_POKEUSR_AREA, gaining read/write access to kernel memory and potentially elevation of privileges via a crafted ptrace call. Affected...
