may lead to a denial of service or privilege escalation. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems :
- CVE-2011-4086
Eric Sandeen reported an issue in the journaling layer
for ext4 filesystems (jbd2). Local users can cause
buffers to be accessed after they have been torn down,
resulting in a denial of service (DoS) due to a system
crash.
- CVE-2012-0879
Louis Rilling reported two reference counting issues in
the CLONE_IO feature of the kernel. Local users can
prevent io context structures from being freed,
resulting in a denial of service.
- CVE-2012-1601
Michael Ellerman reported an issue in the KVM subsystem.
Local users could cause a denial of service (NULL
pointer dereference) by creating VCPUs before a call to
KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP.
- CVE-2012-2123
Steve Grubb reported an issue in fcaps, a
filesystem-based capabilities system. Personality flags
set using this mechanism, such as the disabling of
address space randomization, may persist across suid
calls.
- CVE-2012-2133
Shachar Raindel discovered a use-after-free bug in the
hugepages quota implementation. Local users with
permission to use hugepages via the hugetlbfs
implementation may be able to cause a denial of service
(system crash).
