Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service, information leaks or privilege escalation :

  • CVE-2014-0196 Jiri Slaby discovered a race condition in the pty layer, which could lead to denial of service or privilege escalation.

  • CVE-2014-1737 / CVE-2014-1738 Matthew Daley discovered that missing input sanitising in the FDRAWCMD ioctl and an information leak could result in privilege escalation.

  • CVE-2014-2851 Incorrect reference counting in the ping_init_sock() function allows denial of service or privilege escalation.

  • CVE-2014-3122 Incorrect locking of memory can result in local denial of service.
