Multiple race conditions in the Advanced Union Filesystem (aufs) aufs3-mmap.patch and aufs4-mmap.patch patches for the Linux kernel 3.x and 4.x allow local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and BUG) or possibly gain privileges via a (1) madvise or (2) msync system call, related to mm/madvise.c and mm/msync.c.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-7312 is a Linux kernel issue involving AUFS mmap patches. A local user could potentially crash the system or possibly elevate privileges. It is not described as remotely exploitable in the provided sources, but kernel-level local privilege issues can matter on shared servers and multi-user environments. Exposure is most likely on Linux systems using AUFS with the affected aufs3 or aufs4 mmap patches. The source bundle does not provide exact affected distribution versions or package names beyond Debian and Ubuntu advisories, so inventories should be checked against vendor kernel guidance. Prioritize remediation on shared Linux servers, hosting environments, and systems where untrusted users can run local code. For single-user or tightly controlled hosts, urgency is lower, but kernel updates should still be scheduled through normal security maintenance. Mitigation focus: Apply relevant Debian, Ubuntu, or other vendor kernel security updates.; Reboot systems so the updated kernel is actually running.; Check vendor guidance for exact affected kernel package versions..
