FKIE_CVE-2014-4157

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2014-06-23 11:21 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:09
Severity
Summary
arch/mips/include/asm/thread_info.h in the Linux kernel before 3.14.8 on the MIPS platform does not configure _TIF_SECCOMP checks on the fast system-call path, which allows local users to bypass intended PR_SET_SECCOMP restrictions by executing a crafted application without invoking a trace or audit subsystem.
