Description Victor Pereira 2014-10-10 13:35:40 UTC 
OSS:2014/Q4/228

pivot_root has a bug.  Exploiting it at all is tricky, but it can be
done.  It is probably just denial of service.

For validation, it should be sufficient to just chroot
somewhere as root, escape the chroot (while still chrooted), and then
pivot_root(".", ".") on a mountpoint.

Candidate patch here:

Comment 2 Michal Hocko 2014-10-13 08:04:43 UTC 
So I do understand that this correctly and the exploit requires a root so this is relevant only to secure boot? Or is it possible that a root in user namespace can leak the mount point as well?
Comment 4 Michal Marek 2014-11-07 15:01:51 UTC 
This is now commit 0d0826019e529f21c84687521d03f60cd241ca7d and is marked for stable, so it will end up in SLE12 eventually. SLE11-SP3 is missing (and supports secure boot).
Comment 6 Forgotten User sLJ7K2dvxj 2015-01-21 13:15:30 UTC 
SLE11-SP[34] are patched.
SLE12 has fix from -stable.

Over to -security.
