Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.30.2 on ia64 and x86 platforms
Description
The issue is related to an off-by-one error in the
options write function within the SGI GRU driver. This error can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow when a crafted count argument is provided, potentially allowing local users to overwrite arbitrary memory locations and gain privileges.Recommendations
