NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream procps package and not the procps package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

procps-ng before version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to multiple integer overflows leading to a heap corruption in file2strvec function. This allows a privilege escalation for a local attacker who can create entries in procfs by starting processes, which could result in crashes or arbitrary code execution in proc utilities run by other users.
