- [none]
- Details
-
The dodoublefault function in arch/x86/kernel/traps.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.4 does not properly handle faults associated with the Stack Segment (SS) segment register, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a modifyldt system call, as demonstrated by sigreturn32 in the linux-clock-tests test suite.
