CVE-2015-1350: The VFS subsystem in the Linux kernel 3.x provides an incomplete set of requirements for setattr operations...

The VFS subsystem in the Linux kernel 3.x provides an incomplete set of requirements for setattr operations that underspecifies removing extended privilege attributes, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (capability stripping) via a failed invocation of a system call, as demonstrated by using chown to remove a capability from the ping or Wireshark dumpcap program.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A local user on affected Linux 3.x systems could trigger a kernel VFS flaw that removes privilege attributes from programs. The result is not code execution; it can break tools that rely on file capabilities, causing service or operational disruption until attributes are restored or the kernel is fixed. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux 3.x hosts, appliances, or embedded systems using file capabilities for privileged tools. The provided affected-product data is incomplete and lists no specific distributions or fixed versions. Treat as a legacy-platform operational risk, not an emergency remote compromise issue. Prioritize systems where local users can affect critical diagnostic, monitoring, or capture tools, especially appliances that are hard to patch. Mitigation focus: Check vendor kernel guidance for affected and fixed builds.; Prioritize legacy Linux 3.x systems with local user access.; Patch or upgrade kernels where vendor fixes are available..
