NVD description

Race condition in the page fault handler (fault.c) for Linux kernel 2.2.x to 2.2.7, 2.4 to 2.4.29, and 2.6 to 2.6.10, when running on multiprocessor machines, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via concurrent threads that share the same virtual memory space and simultaneously request stack expansion.

    CVE-2005-0001 | Two workers, one unsafe handoff Imagine two clerks changing the same record at once. A race condition in the Linux kernel's page-fault handler on multiprocessor systems could let a local user run arbitrary code. Timing can become a security boundary.

    The flaw involved threads sharing virtual memory and requesting stack expansion at the same time. It affected historical Linux kernel versions. This is not evidence that current kernels share the flaw. Lesson: synchronize shared state. Official record: https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/blob/main/cves/2005/0xxx/CVE-2005-0001.json
