CVE-2010-3848
Linux Kernel < 2.6.36.2 - Local Privilege Escalation via Econet iovec Structures
Title source: llmExploitation Summary
EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2010-3848.
AI-analyzed exploit summary This is a functional privilege escalation exploit for CVE-2010-3848, targeting a kernel stack overflow in the Linux kernel's Econet implementation. It leverages multiple vulnerabilities (CVE-2010-3848, CVE-2010-3850, and CVE-2010-4073) to achieve root access by manipulating kernel stack memory and clobbering critical structures.
Description
Stack-based buffer overflow in the econet_sendmsg function in net/econet/af_econet.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2, when an econet address is configured, allows local users to gain privileges by providing a large number of iovec structures.
