Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2004:087)

A race condition was discovered in the 64bit file offset handling by Paul Starzetz from iSEC. The file offset pointer fpos is changed during reading, writing, and seeking through a file in order to point to the current position of a file. The value conversion between both the 32bit and 64bit API ...

Fedora Core 1 : kernel-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl (2004-251)

Paul Starzetz discovered flaws in the Linux kernel when handling file offset pointers. These consist of invalid conversions of 64 to 32-bit file offset pointers and possible race conditions. A local unprivileged user could make use of these flaws to access large portions of kernel memory. The...

SUSE-SA:2004:024: kernel

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2004:024 kernel. This kernel is vulnerable to a race condition in the 64-bit file offset handling code. The file offset pointer fpos is changed during reading, writing, and seeking through a file to point to the current position in a...

Linux kernel does not properly convert 64-bit file offset pointers to 32 bits, which allows local users to access portions of kernel memory...

CVE-2004-0415

The CVE-2004-0415 issue affects the Linux kernel where 64-bit file offset pointers are not reliably converted to 32 bits, enabling a local unprivileged user to access portions of kernel memory. An attacker can leverage this through file I/O paths that manipulate 32/64-bit offset conversions, pote...
