Descriptions

Linux kernel 2.4.35 and other versions allows local users to send arbitrary signals to a child process that is running at higher privileges by causing a setuid-root parent process to die, which delivers an attacker-controlled parent process death signal (PR_SET_PDEATHSIG).

El núcleo Linux 2.4.35 y otras versiones permite a usuarios locales enviar señales de su elección a un proceso hijo que está ejecutándose con privilegios mayores provocando que un proceso padre con setuid-root muera, lo cual envía desde un proceso padre controlado por el atacante una señal de muerte (PR_SET_PDEATHSIG).
