DEBIAN-CVE-2014-9645

The addprobe function in modutils/modprobe.c in BusyBox before 1.23.0 allows local users to bypass intended restrictions on loading kernel modules via a / slash character in a module name, as demonstrated by an "ifconfig /usbserial up" command or a "mount -t /sndpcm none /" command...

CVE-2014-9645

The CVE-2014-9645 entry concerns BusyBox, where the add_probe function in modutils/modprobe.c allows a local user to bypass module-loading restrictions when a slash (/) is used in a module name (e.g., ifconfig /usbserial up or mount -t /snd_pcm none /). This is a local-privilege-elevation style f...

GLSA-201612-02 : DavFS2: Local privilege escalation

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201612-02 DavFS2: Local privilege escalation DavFS2 installs /usr/sbin/mount.davfs as setuid root. This utility uses system to call /sbin/modprobe. While the call to modprobe itself cannot be manipulated, a local authenticated use...

DavFS2: Local privilege escalation

Background DavFS2 is a file system driver that allows you to mount a WebDAV server as a local disk drive. Description DavFS2 installs “/usr/sbin/mount.davfs” as setuid root. This utility uses “system” to call “/sbin/modprobe”. While the call to “modprobe” itself cannot be manipulated, a local...

The vulnerability of the loaded module for kernel drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_imon.ko in the Linux operating system allows a hacker to cause a service failure.

The vulnerability of the loaded module containing the Linux kernel’s drivers/staging/media/lirc/lircimon.ko is related to mutual locking in the implementation of the imonprobe handler. Exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a system failure when connecting the SoundGraph iMON...

kernel: compat IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt

A flaw was discovered in processing setsockopt for 32 bit processes on 64 bit systems. This flaw will allow attackers to alter arbitrary kernel memory when unloading a kernel module. This action is usually restricted to root-privileged users but can also be leveraged if the kernel is compiled wit...
