Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2014-05-29 08:51:58 UTC 
Linux kernel built with the system-call auditing support(CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL) is vulnerable to a kernel crash or information disclosure flaw caused by out of bounds memory access. It could occur when system call audit rules are configured on a system. Administrative privileges are required to add such audit rules.

When system call audit rules are present on a system, an unprivileged user/program could use this flaw to leak kernel memory bytes or crash the system resulting DoS.

Comment 10 Martin Prpič 2014-09-02 09:36:57 UTC 
IssueDescription:

An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's system call auditing implementation. On a system with existing audit rules defined, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak kernel memory to user space or, potentially, crash the system.
