Linux Kernel Multithreaded ITimer Leak Local Denial of Service Vulnerability
Linux Kernel is susceptible to a local denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue allows local users to leak small amounts of kernel memory that won't be available again until the computer is restarted. By consuming as many POSIX timers as possible and by employing many different users to overcome resource limits, attackers may cause the kernel to crash. Kernel versions 2.6.8 and prior are vulnerable to this issue. |
