Description

arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel before 3.15.8 on the s390 platform does not properly restrict address-space control operations in PTRACE_POKEUSR_AREA requests, which allows local users to obtain read and write access to kernel memory locations, and consequently gain privileges, via a crafted application that makes a ptrace system call.

Affected Systems

  • ubuntu•linux-lts-utopic

    < 3.16.0-25.33~14.04.2

  • ubuntu•linux-lts-vivid

    < 3.19.0-18.18~14.04.1
