kernel: partial ASLR bypass through TLS base addresses leak

An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel changed certain segment registers and thread-local storage TLS during a context switch. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak the user space TLS base address of an arbitrary process...

F5 Networks BIG-IP : Linux kernel vulnerability (K17132)

arch/x86/kernel/tls.c in the Thread Local Storage TLS implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 allows local users to bypass the espfix protection mechanism, and consequently makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism, via a crafted application that makes a...

USN-2491-1: Linux kernel (EC2) vulnerabilities

Andy Lutomirski discovered that the Linux kernel does not properly handle faults associated with the Stack Segment SS register in the x86 architecture. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to gain administrative privileges. CVE-2014-9322 Lars Bull reported a race condition in the PIT...

USN-2490-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Andy Lutomirski discovered an information leak in the Linux kernel's Thread Local Storage TLS implementation allowing users to bypass the espfix to obtain information that could be used to bypass the Address Space Layout Randomization ASLR protection mechanism. A local user could exploit this fla...
