Descriptions

The addmntent function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.13 and earlier does not report an error status for failed attempts to write to the /etc/mtab file, which makes it easier for local users to trigger corruption of this file, as demonstrated by writes from a process with a small RLIMIT_FSIZE value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0296.

La función addmntent en la biblioteca C de GNU (también conocida como glibc o libc6) v2.13 y anteriores no informa de un estado de error de intentos fallidos al escribir en el fichero /etc/mtab, haciendo más fácil para los usuarios locales provocar la corrupción de este archivo, como lo demuestra escribiendo desde un proceso con un valor RLIMIT_FSIZE pequeño, una vulnerabilidad diferente de CVE-2010-0296.
