Descriptions
mm/memory.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1.4 mishandles anonymous pages, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (page tainting) via a crafted application that triggers writing to page zero.
mm/memory.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.1.4 no maneja adecuadamente páginas anónimas, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener privilegios o provocar una denegación de servicio (adulteración de página) a través de una aplicación manipulada que desencadena escribir a la página cero.
It was discovered that the compression handling code in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly check for an integer overflow. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Kirill A. Shutemov discovered that memory manager in the Linux kernel did not properly handle anonymous pages. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly gain administrative privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
