CVE-2014-0102 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The keyring_detect_cycle_iterator function in security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.6 does not properly determine whether keyrings are identical, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via crafted keyctl commands.. EPSS estimates a 0.55% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
