Candidate: CVE-2009-1046
|
| 2 |
Description:
|
| 3 |
The console selection feature in the Linux kernel 2.6.28 before
|
| 4 |
2.6.28.4, 2.6.25, and possibly earlier versions, when the UTF-8
|
| 5 |
console is used, allows physically proximate attackers to cause
|
| 6 |
a denial of service (memory corruption) by selecting a small
|
| 7 |
number of 3-byte UTF-8 characters, which triggers an "an
|
| 8 |
off-by-two memory error." NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue
|
| 9 |
crosses privilege boundaries.
