GHSA-2589-6chq-5gj4 PUBLISHED CVSS 8.600000381469727 HIGH

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published May 2, 2022

The execve function in the Linux kernel, possibly 2.6.30-rc6 and earlier, does not properly clear the current->clear_child_tid pointer, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly gain privileges via a clone system call with CLONE_CHILD_SETTID or CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID enabled, which is not properly handled during thread creation and exit.
