Descriptions

The load_elf_binary function in fs/binfmt_elf.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32.8 on the x86_64 platform does not ensure that the ELF interpreter is available before a call to the SET_PERSONALITY macro, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a 32-bit application that attempts to execute a 64-bit application and then triggers a segmentation fault, as demonstrated by amd64_killer, related to the flush_old_exec function.

La función load_elf_binary en fs/binfmt_elf.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a v2.6.32.8 en plataformas x86_64 no asegura que el interprete ELF este disponible antes de una llamada a la macro SET_PERSONALITY, lo que permite a usuarios locales producir una denegación de servicio (caída del sistema) a través de una aplicación de 32 bits que intenta ejecutar una aplicación de 64 bits que inicia un fallo de segmentación, como se demuestra con amd64_killer, relacionado con la función flush_old_exec.
