Linux Kernel Futex Local Privilege Escalation (CVE-2014-3153)
Severity: LOW
CVE Identifier: CVE-2014-3153
Advisory Date: JUL 16, 2015
DESCRIPTION
The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.5 does not ensure that calls have two different futex addresses, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted FUTEX_REQUEUE command that facilitates unsafe waiter modification.
