Discussion

Linux Kernel sys_mbind System Call Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

The Linux kernel 'sys_mbind' system call is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue is due to a lack of proper input sanitization in the system call's arguments.

This issue allows local users to panic the kernel, denying further service to legitimate users.

This issue affects Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.15.5.
