CVE-2014-3153  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:5 kernel-uek to version 0:2.6.39-400.215.2.el5uek or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2014-3038.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek package and not the kernel-uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.5 does not ensure that calls have two different futex addresses, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted FUTEX_REQUEUE command that facilitates unsafe waiter modification.
