CVE-2014-4157: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 4.6. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

arch/mips/include/asm/thread_info.h in the Linux kernel before 3.14.8 on the MIPS platform does not configure _TIF_SECCOMP checks on the fast system-call path, which allows local users to bypass intended PR_SET_SECCOMP restrictions by executing a crafted application without invoking a trace or audit subsystem.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: before 3.14.8 (fixed in 3.14.8)
