CVE-2005-0003: The 64 bit ELF support in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.10, on 64-bit architectures, does not properly check...

The 64 bit ELF support in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.10, on 64-bit architectures, does not properly check for overlapping VMA (virtual memory address) allocations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted ELF or a.out file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Linux kernel flaw affecting 64-bit systems running Linux 2.6 before 2.6.10. A local user could run a specially crafted executable that may crash the system or run code in an unintended way. Internet-facing exposure is not indicated; the main concern is legacy servers where untrusted users can execute local files. Exposure is likely limited to obsolete 64-bit Linux systems still running kernel 2.6 versions before 2.6.10, especially shared hosting, shell-access, build, or multi-user systems. The source bundle does not provide complete vendor/product CPE data. Treat this as high priority only if legacy 64-bit Linux 2.6 systems remain in service. Modern supported Linux fleets are unlikely to be affected, but any exposed multi-user legacy host deserves prompt remediation or retirement. Mitigation focus: Identify any 64-bit Linux systems running kernel 2.6 before 2.6.10.; Apply the relevant vendor kernel security update or upgrade to a supported kernel.; Reboot systems after kernel updates and confirm the active running kernel changed..
