VectorAV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel versions 2.x.x through 2.2.27-rc2 Linux kernel versions 2.4.x through 2.4.31-pre1 Linux kernel versions 2.6.x through 2.6.12-rc4
Description: The issue allows local users to execute arbitrary code via an ELF binary. This occurs under certain conditions involving the create elf tables function, where a negative length argument passes a signed integer comparison, leading to a buffer overflow.
