| Revision Date: | 2016-04-27 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2016-2143 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (precise) - medium. | | Description: | The fork implementation in the Linux kernel before 4.5 on s390 platforms mishandles the case of four page-table levels, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application, related to arch/s390/include/asm/mmu_context.h and arch/s390/include/asm/pgalloc.h. Marcin Kościelnicki discovered that the Linux kernel's fork implementation incorrectly handled the case of four page-table levels on s390 platforms. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain administrative privileges. | | Family: | unix | Class: | vulnerability | | Status: | | Reference(s): | CVE-2016-2143
