Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 4.6.3
Description
The issue allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service due to stack memory consumption. This is achieved through vectors involving crafted mmap calls for /proc pathnames, leading to recursive pagefault handling. The
ecryptfs privileged open function in fs/ecryptfs/kthread.c is specifically implicated in this issue.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.6.3, update to version 4.6.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
ecryptfs privileged open function in fs/ecryptfs/kthread.c to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
