Descriptions

The connector layer in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31.5 does not require the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for certain interaction with the (1) uvesafb, (2) pohmelfs, (3) dst, or (4) dm subsystem, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and gain privileges via calls to functions in these subsystems.

La capa de conector en el kernel Linux versiones anteriores a v2.6.31.5 no requiere de la capacidad CAP_SYS_ADMIN para ciertas interacciones de los subsistemas (1) uvesafb, (2) pohmelfs, (3) dst, o (4) dm, permitiendo a usuarios locales saltar las restricciones de acceso implementadas y obtener privilegios mediante peticiones a las funciones en esos subsistemas.
