CVE-2014-7822 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in the Linux kernel prior to version 3.16, specifically impacting the implementation of splice_write file operations. A local attacker can trigger a system crash, and potentially other unspecified impacts, by crafting a splice system call that bypasses file size restrictions. With a CVSS score of 7.2, this vulnerability is considered highly severe due to its low attack complexity and complete impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, public exploit code exists, as demonstrated by an ExploitDB entry for Ubuntu 3.13/3.14, though there is minimal community discussion or media coverage.
