Description: 
 Linux kernel 2.6.17 and earlier, when running on IA64 or SPARC
 platforms, allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via
 a malformed ELF file that triggers memory maps that cross region
 boundaries.
Ubuntu-Description:
 Kirill Korotaev discovered that the ELF loader on the ia64 and sparc
 platforms did not sufficiently verify the memory layout. By
 attempting to execute a specially crafted executable, a local user
 could exploit this to crash the kernel.
