Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 3.7.6

Description The issue allows local users to bypass intended capability restrictions by executing a crafted application as root. This is demonstrated by the msr32.c application, which exploits the msr open function in the Linux kernel.
