| Package(s): | kernel | CVE #(s): | CAN-2005-1767 CAN-2005-3044 | ||||||
| Created: | September 26, 2005 | Updated: | September 28, 2005 | ||||||
| Description: | A Denial of Service vulnerability was detected in the stack segment
fault handler. A local attacker could exploit this by causing stack
fault exceptions under special circumstances (scheduling), which lead
to a kernel crash. (CAN-2005-1767)
Vasiliy Averin discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability in the "tiocgdev" ioctl call and in the "routing_ioctl" function. By calling fget() and fput() in special ways, a local attacker could exploit this to destroy file descriptor structures and crash the kernel. (CAN-2005-3044) | ||||||||
