CVE-2014-0196 – Linux Kernel Race Condition Vulnerability

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2014-0196

The n_tty_write function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly manage tty driver access in the "LECHO & !OPOST" case, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or gain privileges by triggering a race condition involving read and write operations with long strings. La función n_tty_write en drivers/tty/n_tty.c en el kernel de Linux hasta 3.14.3 no maneja debidamente acceso al controlador tty en el caso 'LECHO & !OPOST', lo que permite a usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria y caída de sistema) o ganar privilegios mediante la provocación de una condición de carrera involucrando operaciones de lectura y escritura con cadenas largas. Linux Kernel contains a race condition vulnerability within the n_tty_write function that allows local users to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) or gain privileges via read and write operations with long strings. • https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/33516 https://github.com/tempbottle/CVE-2014-0196 https://github.com/SunRain/CVE-2014-0196 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875690 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git%3Ba=commit%3Bh=4291086b1f081b869c6d79e5b7441633dc3ace00 http://linux.oracle.com/errata/ELSA-2014-0771.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2014-05/msg00007.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2014-05/msg0001 • CWE-362: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') •
