Vulnerability Summary

In the Linux kernel up to and including 5.16.10, certain binary files may have the exec-all attribute if they were built in approximately 2003 (e.g., with GCC 3.2.2 and Linux kernel 2.4.20). This can cause execution of bytes located in supposedly non-executable regions of a file.

Bypassing Linux Executable Space Protection using 20+ years old tools (CVE-2022-25265).

Executable Space Protection Bypass (CVE-2022-25265) This POC demonstrates execution of bytes located in supposedly non-executable region of binary, therefore completely bypassing executable-space protection The root cause of this can be found here: githubcom/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/x86/include/asm/elfh#L280 Brief As it turns out, binary files built on either
