Title : Linux Kernel ioctl Handlers Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities VUPEN ID : VUPEN/ADV-2005-0557 CVE ID : CVE-2005-1264 - CVE-2005-1589 CWE ID : CWE-
Rated as : Moderate Risk
Remotely Exploitable : No Locally Exploitable : Yes Release Date : 2005-05-17
Technical Description
Multiple vulnerabilities were identified in Linux Kernel, which may be exploited by local attackers to obtain elevated privileges or cause a denial of service. These flaws are due to input validation errors in the raw device and pktcdvd block device ioctl handlers when processing specially crafted arguments passed to the "raw_ioctl()", "pkt_ioctl()" and "ioctl_by_bdev()" functions, which may be exploited by malicious users to execute arbitrary commands with kernel privileges.
