Descriptions

The do_coredump function in fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.19 sets the flag variable to O_EXCL but does not use it, which allows context-dependent attackers to modify arbitrary files via a rewrite attack during a core dump.

La función do_coredump en fs/exec.c del Kernel Linux 2.6.19.1, marca la bandera O_EXCL pero no la usa, lo cual permite a atacantes dependientes del contexto modificar ficheros de su elección mediante un ataque de sobreescritura durante un volcado de memoria.
