The file watch implementation in the audit subsystem (auditctl -w) in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 kernel 2.6.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by replacing a watched file, which does not cause the watch on the old inode to be dropped.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-0001 is a local denial-of-service flaw in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel audit file-watch feature. A local user could trigger a kernel panic by replacing a watched file, interrupting service availability. This matters mainly for legacy RHEL 4 systems still in use or embedded in unmanaged environments. Exposure appears limited to legacy Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 systems running kernel 2.6.9 with audit file watches configured. The provided affected-products metadata is incomplete, so confirm exposure against Red Hat advisory RHSA-2007:0085 and local asset records. Treat this as a legacy availability risk, not an internet-scale emergency. If RHEL 4 remains in production, remediation or retirement should be prioritized because a local user could crash affected systems and the platform is far outside normal support expectations. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining RHEL 4 kernel 2.6.9 systems.; Review Red Hat RHSA-2007:0085 for applicable kernel updates.; Prioritize retiring or isolating unsupported legacy RHEL 4 hosts..
