SUSE CVE-2014-3122

The trytounmapcluster function in mm/rmap.c in the Linux kernel before 3.14.3 does not properly consider which pages must be locked, which allows local users to cause a denial of service system crash by triggering a memory-usage pattern that requires removal of page-table mappings...

Kernel: mm: try_to_unmap_cluster() should lock_page() before mlocking

It was found that the trytounmapcluster function in the Linux kernel's Memory Managment subsystem did not properly handle page locking in certain cases, which could potentially trigger the BUGON macro in the mlockvmapage function. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system...

CVE-2014-3122

CVE-2014-3122 affects the Linux kernel local memory-management path. The advisory centers on the try_to_unmap_cluster function in mm/rmap.c, where the code path did not consistently lock pages, enabling a local user to trigger a memory-usage pattern that can force removal of page-table mappings a...
