The /proc handling (proc/base.c) Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.17 allows local users to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors that cause an invalid access of free memory.

Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2004-0427     A local denial of service vulnerability in do_fork() has     been found.
