CVE-2003-0986 — LOW severity vulnerability (Various routines for the ppc64 architecture on Linux kernel)
Various routines for the ppc64 architecture on Linux kernel 2.6 prior to 2.6.2 and 2.4 prior to 2.4.24 do not use the copy_from_user function when copying data from userspace to kernelspace, which crosses security boundaries and allows local users to cause a denial of service.
