kernel: privilege escalation

Package(s):kernel CVE #(s):CVE-2014-8159
Created:March 12, 2015 Updated:May 1, 2015
Description: From the Red Hat advisory:

It was found that the Linux kernel's Infiniband subsystem did not properly sanitize input parameters while registering memory regions from user space via the (u)verbs API. A local user with access to a /dev/infiniband/uverbsX device could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.
