Candidate: CVE-2005-1768 References: URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-1768 Final-Decision: Interim-Decision: Modified: Proposed: Assigned: 20050531 Category: SF BUGTRAQ:20050711 [ Suresec Advisories ] - Linux kernel ia32 compatibility (ia64/x86-64) URL:http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=112110120216116&w=2 MISC:http://www.suresec.org/advisories/adv4.pdf Description: Race condition in the ia32 compatibility code for the execve system call in Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.31 and 2.6 before 2.6.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a concurrent thread that increments a pointer count after the nargs function has counted the pointers, but before the count is copied from user space to kernel space, which leads to a buffer overflow.
