Detail

The setup_arg_pages function in fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36, when CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN is used, does not properly restrict the stack memory consumption of the (1) arguments and (2) environment for a 32-bit application on a 64-bit platform, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted exec system call, a related issue to CVE-2010-2240.

Linux Kernel contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when the 'setup_arg_pages' function in 'fs/exec.c' doesn't properly restrict the stack memory consumption of the 'arguments' or 'environment' when 'CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN' is used, allowing a local attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted exec system call.
