CVE-2005-0400 (CCN-19866)

Assigned:2005-03-21
Published:2005-03-21
Updated:2018-10-03
Summary:The ext2_make_empty function call in the Linux kernel before 2.6.11.6 does not properly initialize memory when creating a block for a new directory entry, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading the block.

    		The Linux kernel before 2.6.11 on the Itanium IA64 platform has certain "ptrace corner cases" that allow local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted syscalls, possibly related to MCA/INIT, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-1761.
