Title:CVE-2014-7843 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (precise) - medium.
Description:The __clear_user function in arch/arm64/lib/clear_user.S in the Linux kernel before 3.17.4 on the ARM64 platform allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by reading one byte beyond a /dev/zero page boundary. Miloš Prchlík reported a flaw in how the ARM64 platform handles a single byte overflow in __clear_user. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) by reading one byte beyond a /dev/zero page boundary.
