Linux Kernel Find_Target Local Denial Of Service Vulnerability

A local denial-of-service vulnerability affects the 'find_target()' function of the Linux kernel. This issue is due to this function's failure to properly handle unexpected conditions when trying to handle a NULL return value from another function.

Local attackers may exploit this vulnerability to trigger a kernel crash, denying service to legitimate users.

This issue likely affects only the x86_64 architecture.
