Linux Kernel x86_64 ptrace Local Memory Corruption Vulnerability
The Linux Kernel is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input. The issue affects x86_64 ptrace and causes an overflow that subsequently results in the insecure freeing of a structure. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges. Successfully exploiting this issue will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will cause a denial of service. Versions prior to Linux Kernel 2.6.25.10 are vulnerable. |
