Linux Kernel SPARC 'mmap()' Denial Of Service Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability when mapping memory addresses on SPARC-based computers.

Local attackers can leverage the issue to crash the kernel and deny service to legitimate users.

Linux kernels prior to 2.6.25.3 are vulnerable.
