USN-3871-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Wen Xu discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious ext4 image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execute arbitrary code...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

Linux kernel is vulnerable to denial of service. A local user is able to crash the kernel due to multiple race conditions in the ext4 filesystem implementation, by writing to a page that is associated with a different user's file after unsynchronized hole punching and page-fault handling...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

kernel is vulnerable to denial of service DoS attacks. The vulnerability exists as the implementation of certain splicewrite file operations in the Linux kernel before 3.16 does not enforce a restriction on the maximum size of a single file, which allows local users to cause a denial of service...
