Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2007-09-18 19:17 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:36
Severity
Summary
Race condition in the tee (sys_tee) system call in the Linux kernel 2.6.17 through 2.6.17.6 might allow local users to cause a denial of service (system crash), obtain sensitive information (kernel memory contents), or gain privileges via unspecified vectors related to a potentially dropped ipipe lock during a race between two pipe readers.
