Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2018-6927
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel versions prior to 4.14.15
**Description**
The issue is related to the futex requeue function in kernel/futex.c, which might allow attackers to cause a denial of service or have other unspecified impacts by triggering a negative wake or requeue value. This could potentially lead to an integer overflow.
**Recommendations**
For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.14.15, update to version 4.14.15 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the futex requeue function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
