**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 3.4.2 **Description** The issue is related to a memory leak in the Linux kernel, specifically in the mm/hugetlb.c file. It allows local users to cause a denial of service, which can result in memory consumption or a system crash. This is achieved through invalid MAP HUGETLB mmap operations. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 3.4.2, update to version 3.4.2 or later to resolve the issue.
