CVE-2005-0529

Linux kernel 2.6.10-2.6.11rc1-bk6 - Heap-Based Buffer Overflow via Signed Comparison in proc_file_read

Title source: llm

Description

Linux kernel 2.6.10 and 2.6.11rc1-bk6 uses different size types for offset arguments to the proc_file_read and locks_read_proc functions, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow when a signed comparison causes negative integers to be used in a positive context.
