kernel: x86-64: syscall-audit: 32/64 syscall hole

The auditsyscallentry function in the Linux kernel 2.6.28.7 and earlier on the x8664 platform does not properly handle 1 a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or 2 a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted...

kernel: exit_notify: kill the wrong capable(CAP_KILL) check

The exitnotify function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30-rc1 does not restrict exit signals when the CAPKILL capability is held, which allows local users to send an arbitrary signal to a process by running a program that modifies the exitsignal field and then uses an exec system...
