CVE-2013-4300

CVE-2013-4300 affects the Linux kernel (pre-3.11). The vulnerability arises from a faulty capability check in scm_check_creds() in net/core/scm.c that uses an incorrect namespace, enabling local users to gain privileges via PID spoofing. Impact: local privilege escalation with complete confidenti...

Scientific Linux Security Update : polkit on SL6.x i386/x86_64 (20130919)

A race condition was found in the way the PolicyKit pkcheck utility checked process authorization when the process was specified by its process ID via the --process option. A local user could use this flaw to bypass intended PolicyKit authorizations and escalate their privileges. CVE-2013-4288...

Local users can overwrite arbitrary files or kill arbitrary processes via a symlink attack on the file specified by the --pid-file option. Root cause: symlink race on pid-file handling. Impact...

Kernel: tracing: NULL pointer dereference

The ftrace implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.8.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and system crash or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the CAPSYSADMIN capability for write access to the 1 setftracepid or 2 setgraphfunction file...

Updated subversion package fixes security vulnerability.

svnserve takes a --pid-file option which creates a file containing the process id it is running as. It does not take steps to ensure that the file it has been directed at is not a symlink. If the pid file is in a directory writeable by unprivileged users, the destination could be replaced by a...

svnserve is vulnerable to a local privilege escalation vulnerability via symlink attack.
