Descriptions

Unspecified vulnerability in the expand_stack function in grsecurity PaX allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors. NOTE: the grsecurity developer has disputed this issue, stating that "the function they claim the vulnerability to be in is a trivial function, which can, and has been, easily checked for any supposed vulnerabilities." The developer also cites a past disclosure that was not proven. As of 20070120, the original researcher has released demonstration code

** DISPUTADA ** Vulnerabilidad no especificada en la función expand_stack en grsecurity PaX permite a usuarios locales obtener privilegios a través de vectores no especificados. NOTA: el desarrollador grsecurity ha disputado este problema, diciendo que 'la función donde dicen que está la vulnerabilidad es una función insignificante, que puede ser, y ha sido, fácilmente comprobada por cualquier supuesta vulnerabilidad.' El desarrollador también cita una divulgación anterior que no se probó. Desde el 20 de enero del 2007, el investigador original ha emitido código de demostración.
