Title: Linux Kernel ELF Binary Loading Denial Of Service Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
The Linux kernel is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to properly handle malformed ELF binaries.
The problem presents itself when an affected kernel uses 'load_elf_binary' to load a maliciously crafted ELF binary. Apparently, the kernel will crash when processing the malicious binary. This issue is reportedly distinct from those outlined in BID 11646 (Linux Kernel BINFMT_ELF Loader Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities).
The information currently available is not sufficient to provide a more in-depth technical description. This BID will be updated as more details are released.
An attacker may leverage this issue to cause the affected kernel to crash, denying service to legitimate users.
