Linux Kernel Multiple Memory Leak Local Denial Of Service Vulnerabilities

Two local denial-of-service vulnerabilities affect the Linux kernel. These issues are due to a design flaw that creates memory leaks.

Local attackers may exploit these vulnerabilities to consume excessive kernel resources, likely triggering a kernel crash and denying service to legitimate users.

These issues affect Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.14-rc4.
