Exploitation Summary
EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2004-0554. PoCs published by lorenzo.
AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit targets a kernel vulnerability in Linux kernels 2.4.18 to 2.6.7 by leveraging an off-by-four error in the `frstor` instruction during inline assembly. It triggers a local denial-of-service (DoS) by corrupting kernel memory through a timer-based signal handler.
Description
Linux kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x for x86 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash), possibly via an infinite loop that triggers a signal handler with a certain sequence of fsave and frstor instructions, as originally demonstrated using a "crash.c" program.
