Upstream information

CVE-2014-9322 at MITRE

Description

arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S in the Linux kernel before 3.17.5 does not properly handle faults associated with the Stack Segment (SS) segment register, which allows local users to gain privileges by triggering an IRET instruction that leads to access to a GS Base address from the wrong space.

Note from the SUSE Security Team

This issue affects the x86_64 Linux kernel on all our SUSE Linux and openSUSE products and we are currently preparing fixed packages.

Note from the SUSE Security Team on the kernel-default package

SUSE will no longer fix all CVEs in the Linux Kernel anymore, but declare some bug classes as won't fix. Please refer to TID 21496 for more details.

Note from the SUSE Security Team on the xen package

This issue likely only affects the XEN hypervisor itself, unless otherwise stated. The userland utilities in -tools and libraries in -libs are shipped together with the xen hypervisor as they are built from one source and do not contain hypervisor specific fixes.

SUSE Bugzilla entries: 1115893 [NEW], 817142 [RESOLVED / WONTFIX], 910251 [RESOLVED / FIXED]
