NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ofa-2.6.32-400.37.2.el6uekdebug package and not the ofa-2.6.32-400.37.2.el6uekdebug package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle private syscall numbers during use of the perf subsystem, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and OOPS) or bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application.
