USN-39-1: Linux amd64 kernel vulnerability

USN-30-1 fixed several flaws in the Linux ELF binary loader's handling of setuid binaries. Unfortunately it was found that these patches were not sufficient to prevent all possible attacks on 64-bit platforms, so previous amd64 kernel images were still vulnerable to root privilege escalation if...

security flaw

The openexec function in the execve functionality exec.c in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, allows local users to read non-readable ELF binaries by using the interpreter PTINTERP functionality...

CVE-2004-1073

The CVE-2004-1073 entry affects the Linux kernel (2.4.x up to 2.4.27 and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8). It is caused by the open_exec path of the execve functionality (exec.c), where the interpreter (PT_INTERP) handling can allow local users to read non-readable ELF binaries. The description specifies local...
