FKIE_CVE-2014-4699
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2014-07-09 11:07 - Updated: 2025-04-12 10:46
Severity ?
Summary
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 fault), via a crafted application that makes ptrace and fork system calls.
