| Vector | AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.32.8
Description
The issue is related to the load elf binary function in the Linux kernel, which does not ensure the availability of the ELF interpreter before calling the SET PERSONALITY macro. This allows local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in a system crash, by executing a 32-bit application that attempts to run a 64-bit application and then triggers a segmentation fault.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.32.8, update to version 2.6.32.8 or later to resolve the issue.
