CVE-2006-0744

Publication date 18 April 2006

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Unknown

Why this priority?

Linux kernel before 2.6.16.5 does not properly handle uncanonical return addresses on Intel EM64T CPUs, which reports an exception in the SYSRET instead of the next instruction, which causes the kernel exception handler to run on the user stack with the wrong GS.
