NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-xen-devel package and not the kernel-xen-devel package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

Linux kernel 2.4.35 and other versions allows local users to send arbitrary signals to a child process that is running at higher privileges by causing a setuid-root parent process to die, which delivers an attacker-controlled parent process death signal (PR_SET_PDEATHSIG).
