Linux Kernel 64 Bit ELF Header Local Denial Of Service Vulnerability

A local denial of service vulnerability affects the ELF header processing functionality on 64 bit systems of the Linux kernel. This issue is due to a failure of the affected kernel to properly handle malformed ELF headers.

A local attacker may leverage this issue to cause a computer running the affected kernel to crash, denying service to legitimate users.
