CVE-2010-4258 (GCVE-0-2010-4258)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2010-12-30 18:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 03:34
VLAI
Summary
The do_exit function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2 does not properly handle a KERNEL_DS get_fs value, which allows local users to bypass intended access_ok restrictions, overwrite arbitrary kernel memory locations, and gain privileges by leveraging a (1) BUG, (2) NULL pointer dereference, or (3) page fault, as demonstrated by vectors involving the clear_child_tid feature and the splice system call.
Severity
No CVSS data available.
CWE
