CVE-2006-6304

Publication date 14 December 2006

Ubuntu priority

Unknown

Why this priority?

The do_coredump function in fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.19 sets the flag variable to O_EXCL but does not use it, which allows context-dependent attackers to modify arbitrary files via a rewrite attack during a core dump.
