Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2008-07-24 15:41 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:55
Severity
Summary
The LDT implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.25.x before 2.6.25.11 on x86_64 platforms uses an incorrect size for ldt_desc, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
