USN-2336-1: Linux kernel (Trusty HWE) vulnerabilities

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel virtual machine's kvm validation of interrupt requests irq. A guest OS user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service host OS crash. CVE-2014-0155 Andy Lutomirski discovered a flaw in the authorization of netlink socket operations when a socket...

USN-2332-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

A bug was discovered in the handling of pathname components when used with an autofs direct mount. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service system crash via an open system call. CVE-2014-0203 Toralf Förster reported an error in the Linux kernels syscall auditing on 32 bit...

Updated kernel-tmb package fixes security vulnerabilities

Updated kernel-tmb provides upstream 3.10.51 kernel and fixes the following security issues: Array index error in the aioreadeventsring function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel through 3.15.1 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a large head value CVE-2014-020...

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...

Medium: kernel

Issue Overview: arch/x86/kernel/entry32.S in the Linux kernel through 3.15.1 on 32-bit x86 platforms, when syscall auditing is enabled and the sep CPU feature flag is set, allows local users to cause a denial of service OOPS and system crash via an invalid syscall number, as demonstrated by numbe...

[oss-security] CVE request: Another Linux syscall auditing bug

On a 32-bit x86 kernel with syscall auditing enabled, syscall1000 will cause an OOPS. This problem goes at least as far back as Linux 3.11 and appears to be present in Linux 3.15 as well. I suspect that this bug is very old. In order to see this bug, you'll need syscall auditing on auditctl -e 1...

[oss-security] CVE request: Linux kernel DoS with syscall auditing

Issuing a system call with a random large number will OOPS, depending on configuration. A configuration that will enable this bug is: auditctl -a exit,always -S open No privilege whatsoever is required to trigger the OOPS. It's possible that this can be extended to more than just a DoS -- with so...
