Official description
The 64 bit ELF support in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.10, on 64-bit architectures, does not properly check for overlapping VMA (virtual memory address) allocations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted ELF or a.out file.
Which versions are affected by CVE-2005-0003?
It affects 15 products.
Products include Avaya Converged Communications Server, Avaya Intuity Audix, Avaya Mn100, Avaya Modular Messaging Message Storage Server, Avaya Network Routing, Avaya S8300 and 9 more.
How do I fix CVE-2005-0003?
