DISPUTED The Linux kernel through 5.0.7, when CONFIG_IA32_AOUT is
enabled and ia32_aout is loaded, allows local users to bypass ASLR on
setuid a.out programs (if any exist) because install_exec_creds() is called
too late in load_aout_binary() in fs/binfmt_aout.c, and thus the
ptrace_may_access() check has a race condition when reading /proc/pid/stat.
NOTE: the software maintainer disputes that this is a vulnerability because
ASLR for a.out format executables has never been supported.
Author | Note |
---|---|
tyhicks | This only affects i386 Ubuntu kernels. Additionally, it is very unlikely that systems will have a setuid a.out program installed. |
sbeattie | configuration changes to disable i386 a.out support are in progress. |
