CVE-2015-0274 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
