| Revision Date: | 2014-09-28 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2014-3631 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (precise) - medium. | | Description: | The assoc_array_gc function in the associative-array implementation in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3 does not properly implement garbage collection, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via multiple "keyctl newring" operations followed by a "keyctl timeout" operation. A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's associative-array garbage collection implementation. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have other unspecified impact by using keyctl operations.
