| Revision Date: | 2015-10-19 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2015-6252 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) - medium. | | Description: | The vhost_dev_ioctl function in drivers/vhost/vhost.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a VHOST_SET_LOG_FD ioctl call that triggers permanent file-descriptor allocation. Marc-André Lureau discovered that the vhost driver did not properly release the userspace provided log file descriptor. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion).
