LIN9-4440 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2017-1000365

Created: Jun 14, 2017    Updated: Jun 14, 2018
Resolved Date: Aug 10, 2017
Found In Version: unknown
Fix Version: 9.0.0.8
Severity: Critical
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 9
Component/s: Kernel

Description

The Linux Kernel imposes a size restriction on the arguments and environmental strings passed through RLIMIT_STACK/RLIM_INFINITY (1/4 of the size), but does not take the argument and environment pointers into account, which allows attackers to bypass this limitation. This affects Linux Kernel versions 4.11.5 and earlier. It appears that this feature was introduced in the Linux Kernel version 2.6.23.
