Linux Kernel Local Denial Of Service And Memory Disclosure Vulnerabilities
The Linux kernel is reported prone to multiple local vulnerabilities: - A handcrafted 'a.out' file may be used to trigger a local denial-of-service condition. A local attacker may exploit this vulnerability to trigger a system-wide denial of service, potentially resulting in a kernel panic. - A memory-disclosure vulnerability reportedly affects only SMP computers with more than 4GB of memory. A local attacker may exploit this vulnerability to access random pages of physical memory. |
