openSUSE Security Update : kernel (openSUSE-SU-2014:0957-1)

The Linux Kernel was updated to fix various bugs and security issues. CVE-2014-4699: The Linux kernel on Intel processors did not properly restrict use of a non-canonical value for the saved RIP address in the case of a system call that does not use IRET, which allowed local users to leverage a...

CVE-2014-4654

The sndctlelemadd function in sound/core/control.c in the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.15.2 does not check authorization for SNDRVCTLIOCTLELEMREPLACE commands, which allows local users to remove kernel controls and cause a denial of service use-after-free and system...

DEBIAN-CVE-2014-4653

sound/core/control.c in the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.15.2 does not ensure possession of a read/write lock, which allows local users to cause a denial of service use-after-free and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX acce...

CVE-2014-4656

Multiple integer overflows in sound/core/control.c in the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.15.2 allow local users to cause a denial of service by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX access, related to 1 index values in the sndctladd function and 2 numid values in the...

CVE-2014-4655

The sndctlelemadd function in sound/core/control.c in the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.15.2 does not properly maintain the userctlcount value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service integer overflow and limit bypass by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX acces...
