| Revision Date: | 2016-02-07 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2015-8785 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) - medium. | | Description: | The fuse_fill_write_pages function in fs/fuse/file.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a writev system call that triggers a zero length for the first segment of an iov. It was discovered that the Linux kernel's Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) implementation did not handle initial zero length segments properly. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (unkillable task).
