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...

Linux Kernel ptrace/sysret - Local Privilege Escalation Exploit

The Linux kernel before 3.15.4 on Intel processors does not properly restrict use of a non-canonical value for the saved RIP address in the case of a system call that does not use IRET, which allows local users to leverage a race condition and gain privileges, or cause a denial of service double...

USN-2284-1: Linux kernel (OMAP4) vulnerabilities

Sasha Levin reported a flaw in the Linux kernel's point-to-point protocol PPP when used with the Layer Two Tunneling Protocol L2TP. A local user could exploit this flaw to gain administrative privileges. CVE-2014-4943 Andy Lutomirski discovered a flaw with the Linux kernel's ptrace syscall on x86...

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...

Debian DSA-2972-1 : linux - security update

Andy Lutomirski discovered that the ptrace syscall was not verifying the RIP register to be valid in the ptrace API on x8664 processors. An unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the kernel resulting in denial of service or for privilege escalation. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network...
