CVE-2014-6417

Linux Kernel < 3.4.105 - Denial of Service via Ceph Auth Ticket Handling

Title source: llm

Description

net/ceph/auth_x.c in Ceph, as used in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3, does not properly consider the possibility of kmalloc failure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long unencrypted auth ticket.
