| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux version 2.6
Description
The issue is related to the mprotect code in Linux, which does not maintain cache coherency as required by the Itanium IA64 Montecito architecture. This allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly corrupt data by modifying PTE protections.
Recommendations
For Linux version 2.6, ensure proper cache coherency is maintained, potentially by modifying the mprotect code to adhere to the Itanium IA64 Montecito architecture requirements. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
