Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2009-3725
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.31.5
**Description**
The issue allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and gain privileges via calls to functions in certain subsystems, including `uvesafb`, `pohmelfs`, `dst`, and `dm`. This is due to the connector layer not requiring the `CAP SYS ADMIN` capability for interaction with these subsystems.
**Recommendations**
For Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.31.5, update to version 2.6.31.5 or later to resolve the issue.
