Discussion

Linux Kernel ATM Module Inconsistent Reference Counts Denial of Service Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability.

This vulnerability affects the ATM module and allows local users to panic the kernel by creating inconsistent reference counts, denying further service to legitimate users.

This issue affects Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.14.
