CVE-2015-0274: Linux Kernel

High severity, CVSS 7.2. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The XFS implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.15 improperly uses an old size value during remote attribute replacement, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (transaction overrun and data corruption) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging XFS filesystem access.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 3.11, before 3.15 (fixed in 3.15)
