A vulnerability in the __secure_computing function in kernel/seccomp.c of the Linux kernel (versions 2.6.28.7 and earlier) on x86_64 platforms allows local users to bypass seccomp access restrictions. The flaw occurs when CONFIG_SECCOMP is enabled and the kernel does not correctly handle cross-architecture syscalls: specifically, 32-bit processes making 64-bit syscalls or 64-bit processes making 32-bit syscalls. This can result in syscalls being misinterpreted, such as stat or chmod, allowing restricted operations to be performed. This issue is related to CVE-2009-0342 and CVE-2009-0343.
