Title: Linux Kernel execve Read Access to Restricted File Descriptors
Description: The execve system call in Linux 2.4.x records the file descriptor of the executable process in the file table of the calling process, which allows local users to gain read access to restricted file descriptors.

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
10296 Linux Kernel execve System Call Arbitrary File Descriptor Read
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.
