It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2015-1328 exists.\n\nAffected product: Canonical Ubuntu Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1328/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1328/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-1328","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1328/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-1328","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jhgp-x42x-cx6m","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-1328","USN-2643-1","USN-2644-1","USN-2645-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel overlayfs","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain root access via improper permission checks in the Linux kernel overlayfs implementation when permitted in arbitrary mount namespaces.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The overlayfs implementation in the linux (aka Linux kernel) package before 3.19.0-21.21 in Ubuntu through 15.04 does not properly check permissions for file creation in the upper filesystem directory, which allows local users to obtain root access by leveraging a configuration in which overlayfs is permitted in an arbitrary mount namespace.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":3,"first_seen":"2015-06-16","github_poc":11,"max_poc_stars":10,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2022-02-07T10:52:51Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/elit3pwner/CVE-2015-1328-GoldenEye","stars":10,"title":"kernel exploit"},{"date":"2025-11-01T14:49:58Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/0xf1d0/CVE-2015-1328","stars":1,"title":"A Proof of Concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2015-1328"},{"date":"2015-06-16","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"37292","stars":null,"title":"Linux Kernel 3.13.0 \u003c 3.19 (Ubuntu 12.04/14.04/14.10/15.04) -
