Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3601)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

CVSSv4: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow error. A remote user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-5077)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: 8.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in net/sctp/associola.c in the Linux kernel through 3.15.8, when SCTP authentication is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) by starting to establish an association between two endpoints immediately after an exchange of INIT and INIT ACK chunks to establish an earlier association between these endpoints in the opposite direction. <a href="http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/476. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-5471)

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

CVSSv4: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Stack consumption vulnerability in the parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (uncontrolled recursion, and system crash or reboot) via a crafted iso9660 image with a CL entry referring to a directory entry that has a CL entry.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-5472)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (unkillable mount process) via a crafted iso9660 image with a self-referential CL entry.
