Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 3.15.4
Description
The issue is related to the Linux kernel's handling of non-canonical values for the saved RIP address in system calls that do not use IRET. This can allow local users to leverage a race condition and gain privileges or cause a denial of service (double fault) via a crafted application that makes ptrace and fork system calls. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
