Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2005-2617 (CCN-21995)

Assigned:2005-08-17
Published:2005-08-17
Updated:2008-09-05
Summary:The syscall32_setup_pages function in syscall32.c for Linux kernel 2.6.12 and later, on the 64-bit x86 platform, does not check the return value of the insert_vm_struct function, which allows local users to trigger a memory leak via a 32-bit application with crafted ELF headers.
