CVE-2014-3519 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The open_by_handle_at function in vzkernel before 042stab090.5 in the OpenVZ modification for the Linux kernel 2.6.32, when using simfs, might allow local container users with CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capability to bypass an intended container protection mechanism and access arbitrary files on a filesystem via vectors related to use of the file_handle structure.. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
