Descriptions

The ABI in the Linux kernel 2.6.28 and earlier on s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips 64-bit platforms requires that a 32-bit argument in a 64-bit register was properly sign extended when sent from a user-mode application, but cannot verify this, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted system call.

ABI en el kernel de Linux v2.6.28 y anteriores sobre las plataformas s390, powerpc, sparc64, y mips 64-bit requiere que un argumento de 32-bit en un registro de 64-bit sea firmado adecuadamente cuando se envía una aplicación en modo de usuario, pero esto no lo puede realizar, lo que permitiría a usuarios locales producir una denegación de servicio (caída) o ganar privilegios a través de una llamada al sistema manipulada.

A large amount of vulnerabilities in the Linux 2.6 kernel have been addressed. These include findings in NFS, the SCTP stack, the ext4 filesystem, and more.
