CVE-2009-0859

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures

[Previous] [Index] [Next]

Upstream information

CVE-2009-0859 at MITRE

Description

The shm_get_stat function in ipc/shm.c in the shm subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.5, when CONFIG_SHMEM is disabled, misinterprets the data type of an inode, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via an SHM_INFO shmctl call, as demonstrated by running the ipcs program.

NVD CVSS v2 Base Score: 4.7 (AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C)
