Last modified
CVE-2004-1071 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The binfmt_elf loader (binfmt_elf.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, does not properly handle a failed call to the mmap function, which causes an incorrect mapped image and may allow local users to execute arbitrary code.. EPSS estimates a 0.51% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
