CVE-2004-0001
The CVE-2004-0001 issue is described across multiple advisories as a local privilege escalation in the AMD64 Linux kernel ptrace emulation, due to incorrect eflags handling in 32-bit ptrace. Affected: AMD64 Linux kernels; root cause: eflags processing in the ptrace emulation path; impact: local u...
GLSA-200402-06 : Updated kernel packages fix the AMD64 ptrace vulnerability
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200402-06 Updated kernel packages fix the AMD64 ptrace vulnerability A vulnerability has been discovered by Andi Kleen in the ptrace emulation code for AMD64 platforms when eflags are processed, allowing a local user to obtain...
Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2004:015)
Paul Staretz discovered a flaw in return value checking in the mremap function in the Linux kernel, versions 2.4.24 and previous that could allow a local user to obtain root privileges. A vulnerability was found in the R128 DRI driver by Alan Cox. This could allow local privilege escalation. A fl...
Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2001:082-1)
Rafal Wojtczuk found a vulnerability in the 2.2.19 and 2.4.11 Linux kernels with the ptrace code and deeply nested symlinks spending an arbitrary amount of time in the kernel code. The ptrace vulnerability could be used by local users to gain root privilege, the symlink vulnerability could result...
SUSE-SA:2003:021: kernel
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2003:021 kernel. The Linux kernel has a security flaw in all versions used on SUSE products excluding the upcoming SUSE LINUX 8.2 distribution. The flaw is known as ptrace/modprobe bug: The local attacker can use ptrace and attach to a...
ptrace contains vulnerability allowing for local root compromise
Overview A vulnerability in the Linux 2.2 and 2.4 distributions of ptrace may permit a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. Description The Linux 2.2 and 2.4 kernels contained a flaw in ptrace. This vulnerability may permit a local user to have the kernel spawn a child process. From the ma...
Systrace 1.x - Local Policy Bypass
// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9998/info Systrace has been reported prone to a vulnerability that may permit an application to completely bypass a Systrace policy. The issue presents itself because Systrace does not perform sufficient sanity checks while handling a process that is...
Updated kernel packages fix the AMD64 ptrace vulnerability
Background Description A vulnerability has been discovered by Andi Kleen in the ptrace emulation code for AMD64 platforms when eflags are processed, allowing a local user to obtain elevated priveleges. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project, http://cve.mitre.org, has assigned...
