LowMetricsAV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
Description:
The issue is related to the rw vm function in usercopy.c, which does not perform proper bounds checking. This allows local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in a system crash.
Recommendations:
For Linux kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, consider applying a patch that fixes the bounds checking issue in the rw vm function as a permanent solution. As a temporary workaround, restrict local user privileges to minimize the risk of exploitation.
