Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.36-rc4-git2

Description The issue is related to the IA32 system call emulation functionality in the Linux kernel on the x86 64 platform. It does not properly zero extend the %eax register after using the 32-bit entry path to ptrace, allowing local users to gain privileges. This is achieved by triggering an out-of-bounds access to the system call table using the %rax register.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.36-rc4-git2, update to version 2.6.36-rc4-git2 or later to resolve the issue.
