Discussion
Linux Kernel 64 Bit ELF Header Processing Memory Leak Local Denial Of Service Vulnerability
A local denial of service vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's ELF header processing functionality on 64 bit x86 platforms.
A successful attack can allow a local attacker to trigger a denial of service condition in the kernel.
This issue may be related to BID 11846 (Linux Kernel 64 Bit ELF Header Local Denial Of Service Vulnerability). Due to a lack of information, this cannot be confirmed at the moment. This BID will be retired if further analysis reveals that the issues are identical.
