CVE-2010-2240 (GCVE-0-2010-2240)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2010-09-03 19:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 02:25
VLAI?
Summary
The do_anonymous_page function in mm/memory.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27.52, 2.6.32.x before 2.6.32.19, 2.6.34.x before 2.6.34.4, and 2.6.35.x before 2.6.35.2 does not properly separate the stack and the heap, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code by writing to the bottom page of a shared memory segment, as demonstrated by a memory-exhaustion attack against the X.Org X server.
Severity ?
