Descriptions

The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel 2.6.28.7 and earlier on the x86_64 platform does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted syscalls, a related issue to CVE-2009-0342 and CVE-2009-0343.

La función audit_syscall_entry en el núcleo de Linux v2.6.28.7 y versiones anteriores en la plataforma x86_64 no maneja adecuadamente (1) un proceso de 32-bit haciendo una llamada al sistema (syscall) de 64 bit o (2) un proceso de 64-bit haciendo una llamada al sistema (syscall) de 32-bit, lo cual permite a usuarios locales evitar determinadas configuraciones de auditoría de llamadas al sistema (syscall) a través de llamadas al sistema (syscall) manipuladas, una cuestión diferente a VE-2009-0342 y CVE-2009-0343.
