CVE-2014-9717

fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0.2 processes MNTDETACH umount2 system calls without verifying that the MNTLOCKED flag is unset, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and navigate to filesystem locations beneath a mount by calling umount2 within a user...

CVE-2015-4177

The collectmounts function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0.5 does not properly consider that it may execute after a path has been unmounted, which allows local users to cause a denial of service system crash by leveraging user-namespace root access for an MNTDETACH umount2 system...

CVE-2015-4176

fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0.2 does not properly support mount connectivity, which allows local users to read arbitrary files by leveraging user-namespace root access for deletion of a file or directory...

Linux kernel elevation of privilege vulnerability (CNVD-2016-01042)

The Linux kernel is an open source, free operating system kernel originally done by Linus Torvalds. A security vulnerability exists in the kernel/ptrace.c file in Linux kernel 4.4.1 and earlier versions, which stems from the program's failure to properly handle uid and gid mappings. A local...

Medium: kernel

Issue Overview: The Linux kernel before 4.4.1 allows local users to bypass file-descriptor limits and cause a denial of service memory consumption by sending each descriptor over a UNIX socket before closing it, related to net/unix/afunix.c and net/unix/garbage.c. CVE-2013-4312 A race condition i...
