Summary

The open_exec function in the execve system calls of Linux kernel versions up to 2.4.27 and 2.6.8 enables local users to exploit the interpreter (PT_INTERP) feature. This exploitation allows unauthorized access to read ELF binaries that should remain non-readable, potentially leading to further exploitation of system resources or sensitive information.
