Kernel: mm: try_to_unmap_cluster() should lock_page() before mlocking

It was found that the trytounmapcluster function in the Linux kernel's Memory Managment subsystem did not properly handle page locking in certain cases, which could potentially trigger the BUGON macro in the mlockvmapage function. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system...

kernel: DoS with syscall auditing

An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's system call auditing implementation. On a system with existing audit rules defined, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak kernel memory to user space or, potentially, crash the system...

kernel: s390: ptrace: insufficient sanitization when setting psw mask

It was found that Linux kernel's ptrace subsystem did not properly sanitize the address-space-control bits when the program-status word PSW was being set. On IBM S/390 systems, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to set address-space-control bits to the kernel space, and thus gain read...
