Descriptions

The file watch implementation in the audit subsystem (auditctl -w) in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 kernel 2.6.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by replacing a watched file, which does not cause the watch on the old inode to be dropped.

La implementación del monitor de archivos en el subsistema de auditoría (auditctl -w) en el núcleo 2.6.9 de Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (kernel panic) reemplazando un archivo monitorizado, lo cual no provoca que la monitorización en el nodo-i antiguo sea eliminada.
