Description Marcel Holtmann 2006-08-10 20:57:59 UTC

Report from Wei Wang of McAfee Avert Labs:

A locally exploitable flaw has been found in the Linux sctp module
sctp_make_abort_user function that allows local users to gain root privileges
and also execute arbitrary code at kernel privilege level.
