NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dtrace-modules-4.1.12-32.1.2.el6uek package and not the dtrace-modules-4.1.12-32.1.2.el6uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The join_session_keyring function in security/keys/process_keys.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1 mishandles object references in a certain error case, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (integer overflow and use-after-free) via crafted keyctl commands.
