The (1) sys32_mremap function in arch/sparc64/kernel/sys_sparc32.c, the (2) sparc_mmap_check function in arch/sparc/kernel/sys_sparc.c, and the (3) sparc64_mmap_check function in arch/sparc64/kernel/sys_sparc.c, in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25.4, omit some virtual-address range (aka span) checks when the mremap MREMAP_FIXED bit is not set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via unspecified mremap calls, a related issue to CVE-2008-2137.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-6107 is a Linux kernel denial-of-service issue affecting SPARC and SPARC64 code before kernel 2.6.25.4. A local user could trigger a kernel panic, disrupting availability. The bundle does not show remote exploitation, privilege escalation, CVSS scoring, or KEV-listed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems running SPARC or SPARC64 kernels before 2.6.25.4, especially where untrusted local users or workloads can execute code. Non-SPARC systems are not indicated as affected in the source bundle. Treat this as an availability risk for legacy SPARC Linux estates. It is not presented as internet-routable or actively exploited, but vulnerable shared systems could be crashed by local users. Prioritize patching where uptime matters or local access is broad. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected SPARC or SPARC64 Linux kernels to a vendor-fixed release.; Use distribution advisories, such as Ubuntu USN-751-1, to identify patched packages.; Prioritize systems with local shell access, shared hosting, or untrusted workloads..
