Descriptions

The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.5 does not ensure that calls have two different futex addresses, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted FUTEX_REQUEUE command that facilitates unsafe waiter modification.

La función futex_requeue en kernel/futex.c en el kernel de Linux hasta 3.14.5 no asegura que las llamadas tengan dos direcciones futex diferentes, lo que permite a usuarios locales ganar privilegios a través de un comando FUTEX_REQUEUE manipulado que facilita la modificación insegura del objeto o función a la espera.

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's futex subsystem handled the requeuing of certain Priority Inheritance (PI) futexes. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.

The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in Linux kernel does not ensure that calls have two different futex addresses, which allows local users to gain privileges.
