Linux Kernel LDT Selector Local Privilege Escalation and Denial of Service Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is prone to a local vulnerability that may result in privilege escalation or a denial of service. This issue involves LDT Local Descriptor Table selectors in the VMI Virtual Machine Interface. Successfully exploiting this issue allows local attackers to trigger kernel crashes,...

CVE-2008-4410

The vmiwriteldtentry function in arch/x86/kernel/vmi32.c in the Virtual Machine Interface VMI in the Linux kernel 2.6.26.5 invokes writeidtentry where writeldtentry was intended, which allows local users to cause a denial of service persistent application failure via crafted function calls, relat...
