Descriptions

The setup_arg_pages function in fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36, when CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN is used, does not properly restrict the stack memory consumption of the (1) arguments and (2) environment for a 32-bit application on a 64-bit platform, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted exec system call, a related issue to CVE-2010-2240.

La función setup_arg_pages en fs/exec.c en el kernel de Linux anterior a v2.6.36, cuando se utiliza CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN, no restringe adecuadamente el consumo de memoria de pila de (1) los argumentos y (2) las variables de entorno para una aplicación de 32 bits en un plataforma de 64 bits, lo que permite a usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (mediante caída del sistema) a través de una system call debidamente modificada. Se trata de un problema relacionado con la CVE-2010-2240.
