What is CVE-2004-1072?

The binfmt_elf loader in the Linux kernel versions 2.4.x (up to 2.4.27) and 2.6.x (up to 2.6.8) is susceptible to a vulnerability where it may generate a non-NULL terminated interpreter name string. This issue can lead to the exploitation of strings exceeding the PATH_MAX limit, resulting in potential buffer overflows. Such overflows may cause a denial of service, allowing local users to hang the system and potentially execute arbitrary code maliciously. It's crucial for users and administrators to implement necessary patches and updates to safeguard their systems against this weakness.
