CVE-2010-3858 EXPLOITDB c WORKING POC
Linux Kernel < 2.6.36 - Denial of Service via Stack Memory Consumption
The setup_arg_pages function in fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36, when CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN is used, does not properly restrict the stack memory consumption of the (1) arguments and (2) environment for a 32-bit application on a 64-bit platform, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted exec system call, a related issue to CVE-2010-2240.
CVE-2010-4243 EXPLOITDB c WORKING POC
Linux Kernel < 2.6.37 - Denial of Service via Stack Memory OOM Bypass
fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 does not enable the OOM Killer to assess use of stack memory by arrays representing the (1) arguments and (2) environment, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted exec system call, aka an "OOM dodging issue," a related issue to CVE-2010-3858.
