Vulnerability: Lack of copy_from_user Function in PPC64 Architecture on Linux Kernel
CVE-2003-0986 · LOW Severity
AV:L/AC:L/AU:S/C:N/I:N/A:P
Various routines for the ppc64 architecture on Linux kernel 2.6 prior to 2.6.2 and 2.4 prior to 2.4.24 do not use the copy_from_user function when copying data from userspace to kernelspace, which crosses security boundaries and allows local users to cause a denial of service.
