CVE-2004-0077

Published: 03/03/2004 Updated: 03/05/2018

CVSS v2 Base Score: 7.2 | Impact Score: 10 | Exploitability Score: 3.9

VMScore: 730

Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

The do_mremap function for the mremap system call in Linux 2.2 to 2.2.25, 2.4 to 2.4.24, and 2.6 to 2.6.2, does not properly check the return value from the do_munmap function when the maximum number of VMA descriptors is exceeded, which allows local users to gain root privileges, a different vulnerability than CAN-2003-0985.
