Id Description
59654 Linux Kernel fs/pipe.c Multiple Function Locking Error NULL Dereference Local...

Linux Kernel 2.6.x contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service or privilege escalation. The issue is triggered within the "pipe_rdwr_open()", "pipe_write_open()", and "pipe_read_open()" functions in "fs/pipe.c". This can be exploited to cause a NULL pointer deference by performing certain pipe operations.
