CVE-2014-0196 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Linux Kernel < 3.14.3 - Denial of Service and Privilege Escalation via Race Condition in n_tty_write
The n_tty_write function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly manage tty driver access in the "LECHO & !OPOST" case, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or gain privileges by triggering a race condition involving read and write operations with long strings.
CVSS 5.5
CVE-2015-4170 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Linux Kernel < 3.13.3 - Denial of Service via ldsem_cmpxchg Race Condition
Race condition in the ldsem_cmpxchg function in drivers/tty/tty_ldsem.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13-rc4-next-20131218 allows local users to cause a denial of service (ldsem_down_read and ldsem_down_write deadlock) by establishing a new tty thread during shutdown of a previous tty thread.
