CVE-2014-7283: Linux Kernel
Medium severity, CVSS 4.9. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
The xfs_da3_fixhashpath function in fs/xfs/xfs_da_btree.c in the xfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.14.2 does not properly compare btree hash values, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (filesystem corruption, and OOPS or panic) via operations on directories that have hash collisions, as demonstrated by rmdir operations.
