Created: Aug 31, 2014    Updated: Mar 11, 2016
Resolved Date: Sep 3, 2014
Found In Version: 6.0.0.11
Fix Version: 6.0.0.12
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 6
Component/s: Kernel

Description

fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 does not properly restrict clearing MNT_NODEV, MNT_NOSUID, and MNT_NOEXEC and changing MNT_ATIME_MASK during a remount of a bind mount, which allows local users to gain privileges, interfere with backups and auditing on systems that had atime enabled, or cause a denial of service (excessive filesystem updating) on systems that had atime disabled via a mount -o remount command within a user namespace.
