CVE-2006-7051
|
| Summary |
The sys_timer_create function in posix-timers.c for Linux kernel 2.6.x allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) and possibly bypass memory limits or cause other processes to be killed by creating a large number of posix timers, which are allocated in kernel memory but are not treated as part of the process' memory. |

| contributor | Mark J Cox | | lastmodified | 2007-03-14 | | organization | Red Hat | | statement | This issue can only be exploited if pending signals (ulimit -i) is set to "unlimited". In case of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 2.1, 3 and 4 this is not the case and therefore they are not vulnerable to this issue.
