RHSA-2007:0937: Important: kernel security update

First published: Thu Sep 27 2007(Updated: )

The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. A flaw was found in the IA32 system call emulation provided on AMD64 and Intel 64 platforms. An improperly validated 64-bit value could be stored in the %RAX register, which could trigger an out-of-bounds system call table access. An untrusted local user could exploit this flaw to run code in the kernel (ie a root privilege escalation). (CVE-2007-4573). Red Hat would like to thank Wojciech Purczynski for reporting this issue. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users are advised to upgrade to these packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
