| Revision Date: | 2018-03-09 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2018-7995 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (trusty) - negligible. | | Description: | ** DISPUTED ** Race condition in the store_int_with_restart() function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging root access to write to the check_interval file in a /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck directory. NOTE: a third party has indicated that this report is not security relevant. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the x86 machine check handler in the Linux kernel. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. | | Family: | unix | Class: | vulnerability | | Status: | | Reference(s): | CVE-2018-7995
