| Vetor | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions through 3.17
Description
The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service, specifically a loss of writability, by manipulating certain system calls and flags. This is due to the do umount function not requiring the CAP SYS ADMIN capability for specific do remount sb calls that change the root filesystem to read-only.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions through 3.17, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the do umount function until a patch is available. Additionally, limiting the ability to make certain unshare system calls and clearing the / MNT LOCKED flag can help minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
