UBUNTU-CVE-2017-1000365

The Linux Kernel imposes a size restriction on the arguments and environmental strings passed through RLIMITSTACK/RLIMINFINITY 1/4 of the size, but does not take the argument and environment pointers into account, which allows attackers to bypass this limitation. This affects Linux Kernel version...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux affected versions not specified Description: The issue is caused by a minimal memory range between the upper boundary of the stack and the PIE binary code segment located in memory starting at 0x80000000. This occurs when the RLIMIT STA...

USN-2908-2 linux-lts-wily vulnerabilities

halfdog discovered that OverlayFS, when mounting on top of a FUSE mount, incorrectly propagated file attributes, including setuid. A local unprivileged attacker could use this to gain privileges. CVE-2016-1576 halfdog discovered that OverlayFS in the Linux kernel incorrectly propagated security...

nfs-utils: mount.nfs fails to anticipate RLIMIT_FSIZE

The nfsaddmntent function in support/nfs/nfsmntent.c in the mount.nsf tool in nfs-utils before 1.2.4 attempts to append to the /etc/mtab file without first checking whether resource limits would interfere, which allows local users to corrupt this file via a process with a small RLIMITFSIZE value,...

glibc: Suid mount helpers fail to anticipate RLIMIT_FSIZE

The addmntent function in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 2.13 and earlier does not report an error status for failed attempts to write to the /etc/mtab file, which makes it easier for local users to trigger corruption of this file, as demonstrated by writes from a process with a small...

samba/cifs-utils: mount.cifs and umount.cifs fail to anticipate RLIMIT_FSIZE

smbfs in Samba 3.5.8 and earlier attempts to use 1 mount.cifs to append to the /etc/mtab file and 2 umount.cifs to append to the /etc/mtab.tmp file without first checking whether resource limits would interfere, which allows local users to trigger corruption of the /etc/mtab file via a process wi...
