VULHUB ™

An unspecified buffer overflow vulnerability reportedly affects the 'sys_ia32.c' file of the Linux kernel. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly validate the length of user-supplied strings prior to copying them into finite kernel buffers. It has been speculated that an attacker might leverage this issue to overflow the affected buffer. It may be possible to overflow critical memory, facilitating code execution or a denial of service condition. It should be noted that this is entirely conjecture and has not been verified.
