Exploitation Summary
EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2005-1263. PoCs published by Paul Starzetz.
AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit leverages a local buffer overflow in the Linux kernel's ELF coredump functionality (CVE-2005-1263) via an integer overflow in 'elf_core_dump()'. It consists of two phases: the first manipulates environment variables to trigger the vulnerability, and the second executes arbitrary code in kernel context for privilege escalation.
Description
The elf_core_dump function in binfmt_elf.c for Linux kernel 2.x.x to 2.2.27-rc2, 2.4.x to 2.4.31-pre1, and 2.6.x to 2.6.12-rc4 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via an ELF binary that, in certain conditions involving the create_elf_tables function, causes a negative length argument to pass a signed integer comparison, leading to a buffer overflow.
