Found In Version: 6.0.0.11
Fix Version: 6.0.0.11

Applicable for: Wind River Linux 6
Component/s: Kernel

Description

The Linux kernel before 3.15.4 on Intel processors does not properly restrict use of a non-canonical value for the saved RIP address in the case of a system call that does not use IRET, which allows 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.
