Linux Kernel Invalid Proc Memory Access Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue is due to a flaw in the 'proc' filesystem.

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

This issue affects Linux kernel versions prior to 2.4.27.
