Linux Kernel Unix Sockets Local Denial of Service - [CVE: 2010-4249]

2010-11-27 11:15:14

Simple kernel attack using socketpair. easy, 100% reproductiblle, works
under guest. no way to protect :(

Simple kernel attack using socketpair. easy, 100% reproductiblle,
works under guest. no way to protect :(

See source attached.

Process become in state 'Running' but not killalble via kill -KILL.

eat 100% CPU, eat all available internal file descriptors in kernel :(
