CVE-2014-7283

La función xfs_da3_fixhashpath en fs/xfs/xfs_da_btree.c en la implementación xfs en el kernel de Linux anterior a 3.14.2 no compara debidamente los valores de hashes btree, lo que permite a usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción del sistema de ficheros y OOPS o pánico) a través de operaciones sobre directorios que tienen colisiones de hashes, tal y como fue demostrado por operaciones rmdir.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's XFS file system implementation ordered directory hashes under certain conditions. A local attacker could use this flaw to corrupt the file system by creating directories with colliding hash values, potentially resulting in a system crash.

The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A denial of service flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's XFS file system implementation ordered directory hashes under certain conditions. A local attacker could use this flaw to corrupt the file system by creating directories with colliding hash values, potentially resulting in a system crash. An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the syscall tracing functionality of the Linux kernel's perf subsystem. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system.
