Descriptions

The robust futex implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28 does not properly handle processes that make exec system calls, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges by writing to a memory location in a child process.

La implementación de robust futex en el kernel de Linux antes de v2.6.28 no maneja adecuadamente los procesos que realizan llamadas Exec System Recovery, lo que permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio o posiblemente obtener privilegios escribiendo en una ubicación de memoria en un proceso hijo.
