| Vector | AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux versions 2.4.x through 2.6.8
Description
The issue concerns multiple race conditions in the terminal layer, allowing local users to obtain portions of kernel data via a TIOCSETD ioctl call to a terminal interface being accessed by another thread. Additionally, remote attackers can cause a denial of service by switching from console to PPP line discipline and then quickly sending data during the switch.
Recommendations
For Linux versions 2.4.x through 2.6.8, update to version 2.6.9 or later to resolve the issue.
