| Revision Date: | 2014-01-20 | Version: | 5 | | Title: | Third party component updates for VMware vCenter Server, vCenter Update Manager, ESXi and ESX | | Description: | The compat_alloc_user_space functions in include/asm/compat.h files in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc4-git2 on 64-bit platforms do not properly allocate the userspace memory required for the 32-bit compatibility layer, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging the ability of the compat_mc_getsockopt function (aka the MCAST_MSFILTER getsockopt support) to control a certain length value, related to a "stack pointer underflow" issue, as exploited in the wild in September 2010. | | Family: | unix | Class: | vulnerability | | Status: | ACCEPTED | Reference(s): | CVE-2010-3081
