CVE-2014-7822
Last modified
CVE-2014-7822 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The implementation of certain splice_write file operations in the Linux kernel before 3.16 does not enforce a restriction on the maximum size of a single file, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted splice system call, as demonstrated by use of a file descriptor associated with an ext4 filesystem.. EPSS estimates a 1.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
