Design/Logic Flaw

The Linux kernel 2.6.9 through 2.6.17 on the x8664 and amd64 platforms allows local users to cause a denial of service panic via a 32-bit application that calls mprotect on its Virtual Dynamic Shared Object VDSO page and then triggers a segmentation fault...

CVE-2009-4271

CVE-2009-4271 affects Linux kernel 2.6.9–2.6.17 on x86_64/amd64. A local unprivileged user can trigger a NULL pointer dereference when a crafted 32-bit process calls mprotect on the Virtual Dynamic Shared Object (VDSO) page, potentially causing a kernel panic (DoS). The issue is tied to memory pr...
