A local, unprivileged user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) virtual cpu setup. An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to crash the system leading to a denial of service. Steve Grubb reported a flaw with Linux fscaps (file system base capabilities) when used to increase the permissions of a process. For application on which fscaps are in use a local attacker can disable address space randomization to make attacking the process with raised privileges easier. Various other issues were also addressed.

7d0b2e8d139bbdf7e42fc75ff657d5dc4fdf2c134147403f44f2f71576098f00Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0670-01 - The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. When a set user ID application is executed, certain personality flags for controlling the application's behavior are cleared. It was found that those flags were not cleared if the application was made privileged via file system capabilities. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to change the behavior of such applications, allowing them to bypass intended restrictions. Note that for default installations, no application shipped by Red Hat for Red Hat Enterprise MRG is made privileged via file system capabilities.

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's journal_unmap_buffer() function handled buffer head states. On systems that have an ext4 file system with a journal mounted, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. A flaw was found in the way the KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP ioctl was handled. Calling this ioctl when at least one virtual CPU already existed could lead to a NULL pointer dereference later when the VCPU is scheduled to run. A local, unprivileged user on a KVM host could use this flaw to crash the host.

A local, unprivileged user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service. Sasha Levin discovered a flaw in the permission checking for device assignments requested via the kvm ioctl in the Linux kernel. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system causing a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.

An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to crash the system leading to a denial of service. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 file system when mounting a corrupt filesystem. A user-assisted remote attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.

1f6883f19f9a2b1057e35bd8aa804fda23a4a1a09b6012236c8db13c99741688Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0107-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Using the SG_IO ioctl to issue SCSI requests to partitions or LVM volumes resulted in the requests being passed to the underlying block device. If a privileged user only had access to a single partition or LVM volume, they could use this flaw to bypass those restrictions and gain read and write access to the entire block device. Refer to Red Hat Knowledgebase article DOC-67874, linked to in the References, for further details about this issue.
