Discussion

Linux Kernel Non-Hugemem Support Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue is due to a design error in the code that handles support for 'non-hugemem' kernels.

This vulnerability allows local users to cause a kernel panic, denying further service to legitimate users.
