Detail
| RedHat and SuSE kernel and security teams revealed an integer overflow in the do_brk() function of the Linux kernel allows local users to gain root privileges. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.17-0.020226.2.woody4. Other architectures are already or will be fixed separately. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon with newly uploaded packages. We recommend that you upgrade your kernel image packages for the mips and mipsel architectures. This problem has been fixed in the upstream version 2.4.23 as well and is also present in 2.4.24, of course. |

|---|---|
| 2887 | Linux Kernel do_brk local Overflow A flaw exists in the Linux kernel which allows a local user to map kernel memory segments into an unprivileged process. Specifically, the do_brk function does not verify that the allocated memory range does not exceed the TASK_SIZE constant. The do_brk function is called by the ELF executable loader and the mmap system call, however only the mmap method is exploitable. Once kernel memory access has been obtained, a number of tricks can be used to gain superuser privileges. |
