What is CVE-2015-1805?
The Linux kernel prior to version 3.16 contains vulnerabilities within the pipe_read and pipe_write functions that improperly handle failures in memory copy operations. This oversight may result in a denial of service by causing system crashes or may potentially allow attackers to exploit the vulnerability for privilege escalation using maliciously crafted applications.
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
