Description Petr Matousek 2013-02-16 20:35:31 UTC
A race conditon in ptrace can lead to kernel stack corruption and arbitrary kernel-mode code execution. A local unprivileged user could use this flaw to elevate his privileges.

Comment 1 Petr Matousek 2013-02-16 20:48:10 UTC
Created kernel tracking bugs for this issue

Affects: fedora-all [bug 911942]

Comment 5 Petr Matousek 2013-02-17 17:29:32 UTC
Statement:

This issue did affect the versions of the kernel package as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2. Future updates may address this issue.

Please note that while a public non-weaponized exploit exists, according to our testing the issue is very hard to hit.
