Vulnerability CVE-2015-0274

Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2015-0274 (CCN-101423)

Assigned:

2014-11-18

Published:

2015-03-05

Updated:

2023-02-13

Summary:

The XFS implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.15 improperly uses an old size value during remote attribute replacement, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (transaction overrun and data corruption) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging XFS filesystem access.
