Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2005-0403 (CCN-24289)

Assigned:2005-03-08
Published:2005-03-08
Updated:2017-10-11
Summary:init_dev in tty_io.c in the Red Hat backport of NPTL to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 does not properly clear controlling tty's in multi-threaded applications, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly gain tty access via unknown attack vectors that trigger an access of a pointer to a freed structure.
