Linux Kernel 2.6.8.1/2.6.10 Compatibility Mode denial of service

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel 2.6.8.1/2.6.10 (Operating System). It has been classified as problematic. This affects some unknown functionality of the component Compatibility Mode. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a denial of service vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-404. The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

syscall in the Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.10 for the AMD64 platform, when running in 32-bit compatibility mode, allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel hang) via crafted arguments.

The bug was discovered 06/27/2005. The weakness was disclosed 05/31/2005 with SuSE (Website). The advisory is shared at novell.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2005-1765 since 05/31/2005. The exploitability is told to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 158 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 22788 (Debian DSA-922-1 : kernel-source-2.6.8 - several vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks and running in the context l.

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published 8 months after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (21165), Tenable (22788), SecurityFocus (BID 13904†), OSVDB (17545†) and Secunia (SA18056†). The entries VDB-1776, VDB-23202, VDB-25455 and VDB-25250 are pretty similar. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
