CVE-2004-0138

CVE-2004-0138 affects the Linux kernel 2.4 series prior to 2.4.25. The vulnerability lies in the ELF loader: a crafted ELF with an invalid interpreter arch triggers a BUG() when an invalid VMA is unmapped, allowing local denial of service (crash). The issue is mitigated by upgrading to 2.4.25 or ...

CVE-2004-0138

The ELF loader in Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.25 allows local users to cause a denial of service crash via a crafted ELF file with an interpreter with an invalid arch architecture, which triggers a BUG when an invalid VMA is unmapped...
