Privilege Escalation

kernel-rt is vulnerable to privilege escalation attacks. The vulnerability exists as 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...

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...

CVE-2014-9090

CVE-2014-9090 affects the Linux kernel up to 3.17.4, where do_double_fault in arch/x86/kernel/traps.c mishandles SS fault conditions, allowing local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via modify_ldt (demonstrated by sigreturn_32 in linux-clock-tests). The issue was addressed by a patch li...
