Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.28

Description The issue is related to the robust futex implementation in the Linux kernel, which does not properly handle processes that make exec system calls. This can be exploited by local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges by writing to a memory location in a child process.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.28, update to version 2.6.28 or later to resolve the issue.
