Id Description
25747 Linux Kernel LSM file_permission Hook Restriction Bypass

The Linux Kernel contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to circumvent file access restrictions. The issue is triggered because the 'writev()' and 'readv()' functions does not mediate data properly for 32-bit applications on 64-bit kernels. It is possible that the flaw may allow unauthorized access to files, resulting in a loss of confidentiality and/or integrity.
