Package(s):kernel CVE #(s):CVE-2008-1367
Created:May 7, 2008 Updated:July 8, 2008
Description: GCC 4.3.x no longer sets the x86 direction flag in situations where the ABI standard says the flag should already be cleared; as a result, it may be possible for a local attacker to corrupt memory. See this LWN article for details.
