kernel: kvm: excessive pages un-pinning in kvm_iommu_map error path

It was found that the fix for CVE-2014-3601 was incomplete: the Linux kernel's kvmiommumappages function still handled IOMMU mapping failures incorrectly. A privileged user in a guest with an assigned host device could use this flaw to crash the host...

UBUNTU-CVE-2014-9322

arch/x86/kernel/entry64.S in the Linux kernel before 3.17.5 does not properly handle faults associated with the Stack Segment SS segment register, which allows local users to gain privileges by triggering an IRET instruction that leads to access to a GS Base address from the wrong space...

kernel: x86: local privesc due to bad_iret and paranoid entry incompatibility

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled GS segment register base switching when recovering from a SS stack segment fault on an erroneous return to user space. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system...

Kernel: ALSA: control: use-after-free in replacing user controls

A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ALSA implementation handled user controls. A local, privileged user could use this flaw to crash the system...

kernel: sctp: skb_over_panic when receiving malformed ASCONF chunks

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol SCTP implementation handled malformed Address Configuration Change Chunks ASCONF. A remote attacker could use either of these flaws to crash the system...

Apple iOS 8.1.1 Fixes Several Code-Execution Flaws

Apple has patched 10 vulnerabilities in iOS, including a pair of bugs that allowed arbitrary code execution and one that enables an attacker to run random binaries on a target device. The patches come in iOS 8.1.1, a small update to the company’s mobile operating system. There are several serious...

kernel: futex: refcount issue in case of requeue

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's futex subsystem handled reference counting when requeuing futexes during futexwait. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to zero out the reference counter of an inode or an mm struct that backs up the memory area of the futex, which could...

DEBIAN-CVE-2014-3534

arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel before 3.15.8 on the s390 platform does not properly restrict address-space control operations in PTRACEPOKEUSRAREA requests, which allows local users to obtain read and write access to kernel memory locations, and consequently gain privileges, via a...

kernel: net: pppol2tp: level handling in pppol2tp_[s,g]etsockopt()

A flaw was found in the way the pppol2tpsetsockopt and pppol2tpgetsockopt functions in the Linux kernel's PPP over L2TP implementation handled requests with a non-SOLPPPOL2TP socket option level. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system...

VMware Workstation 10.x < 10.0.2 Windows 8.1 Guest Privilege Escalation (VMSA-2014-0005) (Linux)

The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote host is version 10.x prior to 10.0.2. It is, therefore, reportedly affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability. A kernel NULL dereference flaw exists in VMware tools on Windows 8.1 guest hosts. An attacker could escalate his privilege...

DEBIAN-CVE-2014-2523

net/netfilter/nfconntrackprotodccp.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.6 uses a DCCP header pointer incorrectly, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execute arbitrary code via a DCCP packet that triggers a call to the 1 dccpnew, 2 dccppacket, or 3...

CVE-2014-2038

The nfscanextendwrite function in fs/nfs/write.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.3 relies on a write delegation to extend a write operation without a certain up-to-date verification, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory in opportunistic circumstances by...
