CVE-2014-0102: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.2. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The keyring_detect_cycle_iterator function in security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.6 does not properly determine whether keyrings are identical, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via crafted keyctl commands.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: up to and including 3.13.6
