CVE-2014-7975

The doumount function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17 does not require the CAPSYSADMIN capability for doremountsb calls that change the root filesystem to read-only, which allows local users to cause a denial of service loss of writability by making certain unshare system calls...

CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2014:1352 Updated libvirt packages that fix two security issues and one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System CVSS base...

libvirt: domain_conf: domain deadlock DoS

A denial of service flaw was found in the way libvirt's virConnectListAllDomains function computed the number of used domains. A remote attacker able to establish a read-only connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to make any domain operations within libvirt unresponsive...

CVE-2014-5206

The doremount function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 does not maintain the MNTLOCKREADONLY bit across a remount of a bind mount, which allows local users to bypass an intended read-only restriction and defeat certain sandbox protection mechanisms via a "mount -o remount"...

CVE-2014-5206

CVE-2014-5206 : In Linux kernel versions up to 3.16.1, the do_remount function in fs/namespace.c fails to preserve the MNT_LOCK_READONLY flag across remounts of bind mounts. This allows a local user to bypass the intended read-only restriction by using a mount -o remount within a user namespace, ...
