Detail

fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 does not enable the OOM Killer to assess use of stack memory by arrays representing the (1) arguments and (2) environment, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted exec system call, aka an "OOM dodging issue," a related issue to CVE-2010-3858.

Id Description
70659 Linux Kernel fs/exec.c Crafted Exec System Call OOM Dodging Local DoS

Linux Kernel contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when fs/exec.c fails to enable the OOM Killer to assess memory use representing the arguments and environment, allowing a local attacker to use a crafted exec system call to cause an 'OOM dodging issue' denial of service.
