Descriptions

Integer overflow in the dccp_feat_change function in net/dccp/feat.c in the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.18, and 2.6.17 through 2.6.20, allows local users to gain privileges via an invalid feature length, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Un desbordamiento de enteros en la función dccp_feat_change en el archivo net/dccp/feat.c en el subsistema Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) en el kernel de Linux versión 2.6.18, y versiones 2.6.17 hasta 2.6.20, permite a los usuarios locales alcanzar privilegios por medio de una longitud de funcionalidad no válida, lo que conlleva a un desbordamiento de búfer en la región heap de la memoria.
