Descriptions

The do_coredump function in fs/exec.c in Linux kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x up to 2.6.24-rc3, and possibly other versions, does not change the UID of a core dump file if it exists before a root process creates a core dump in the same location, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information.

La función do_coredump en el archivo fs/exec.c en el kernel de Linux versiones 2.4.x y versiones 2.6.x hasta 2.6.24-rc3, y posiblemente otras versiones, no cambia el UID de un archivo de volcado de núcleo si éste existe antes de una creación de proceso root en un volcado de núcleo en la misma ubicación, lo que podría permitir a los usuarios locales obtener información confidencial.
