	5997 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 5997 - Disclosed: 2004-05-07 Description: Linux kernel contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The exit_thread function fails to invalidate per-TSS io_bitmap pointers before certain processes exit, which could result in other processes inheriting the IO access permissions, thus allowing a malicious user to possibly gain root privileges, resulting in a loss of integrity.	2004-05-07	Linux Kernel IO Bitmap Access Permissions Inheritance
