Discussion
Linux Kernel Equalizer Load Balancer Device Driver Local Denial Of Service Vulnerability
The Linux kernel is reported to be prone to a local denial of service vulnerability. The issue is reported to exist in the 'eql.c' source file.
An unprivileged local attacker may exploit this issue by crafting a program that calls the vulnerable functions on a slave device name that does not exist.
This vulnerability is reported to exist in version 2.6.7 of the Linux kernel. It is likely that other versions are also affected.
