CVE-2008-1669

Publication date 8 May 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Linux kernel before 2.6.25.2 does not apply a certain protection mechanism for fcntl functionality, which allows local users to (1) execute code in parallel or (2) exploit a race condition to obtain "re-ordered access to the descriptor table."
