CVE-2013-2930: Low severity Linux Linux kernel vulnerability

Q: What is the vulnerability CVE-2013-2930 about?

CVE-2013-2930 allows local users to enable function tracing via a crafted application due to improper access restrictions in the perf subsystem of the Linux kernel.

Q: What versions of the Linux kernel are affected by CVE-2013-2930?

CVE-2013-2930 affects Linux kernel versions prior to 3.12.2, including various earlier versions like 3.11 and 3.0.

Q: How do I fix CVE-2013-2930?

To fix CVE-2013-2930, upgrade your Linux kernel to version 3.12.2 or later.

Q: Is CVE-2013-2930 considered serious?

CVE-2013-2930 is considered a moderate severity vulnerability because it allows local users to exploit function tracing without proper authorization.

Q: What should I do if I cannot upgrade due to compatibility issues related to CVE-2013-2930?
