{"id":"CVE-2014-7822","details":"The implementation of certain splice_write file operations in the Linux kernel before 3.16 does not enforce a restriction on the maximum size of a single file, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted splice system call, as demonstrated by use of a file descriptor associated with an ext4 filesystem.","modified":"2026-02-04T04:11:16.922976Z","published":"2015-03-16T10:59:00Z","related":["SUSE-RU-2015:0621-1","SUSE-SU-2015:0529-1","SUSE-SU-2015:0581-1","SUSE-SU-2015:0736-1","SUSE-SU-2015:1174-1","SUSE-SU-2015:1376-1","SUSE-SU-2015:1488-1","SUSE-SU-2015:1489-1"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-0102.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-0164.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-0674.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-0694.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.debian.org/security/2015/dsa-3170"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-2541-1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-2542-1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-2543-1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-2544-1"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/8d0207652cbe27d1f962050737848e5ad4671958"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1163792"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git%3Ba=commit%3Bh=8d0207652cbe27d1f962050737848e5ad4671958"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-03/msg00020.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-04/msg00009.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-04/msg00015.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-09/msg00008.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-09/msg00009.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/linuxbulletinoct2015-2719645.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.osvdb.org/117810"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/72347"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/36743/"}],"schema_version":"1.7.3"}
