Candidate: CVE-2006-1055
References:
Description:
Quoting Greg KH:
Al just pointed me at an old sysfs patch that went into the tree last
year that has some potential security problems. Turns out that if you
write to a sysfs file exactly PAGE_SIZE worth of data, with no zeros in
it, there's a good chance you could read off the end of the kernel
buffer into who knows where.
Notes:
jmm> This was judged non-exploitable by Al Viro, but it's still a local DoS
jmm> 2.4 N/A, as it doesn't have sysfs
.
troyh> N/A for sarge, it was broken in 2.6.12 - 2.6.17-rc1. 2.6.8 is fine,
and since its's sysfs 2.4 is N/A.
