Published Mar 16, 2015

HIGHCVSS 2.0
EPSS 0.44%
Description
The XFS implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.15 improperly uses an old size value during remote attribute replacement, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (transaction overrun and data corruption) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging XFS filesystem access.
