kernel: splice: lack of generic write checks

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's splice system call validated its parameters. On certain file systems, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to write past the maximum file size, and thus crash the system...

CVE-2014-7822

The implementation of certain splicewrite file operations in the Linux kernel before 3.16 does not enforce a restriction on the maximum size of a single file, which allows local users to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted splice system...

UBUNTU-CVE-2014-8173

The pmdnoneortranshugeorclearbad function in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h in the Linux kernel before 3.13 on NUMA systems does not properly determine whether a Page Middle Directory PMD entry is a transparent huge-table entry, which allows local users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer...
