Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 4.1
Description
The issue allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service due to invalid pointer dereference. This occurs through vectors involving events that are mishandled during a span of multiple HW PMUs on arm64 platforms.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.1, update to version 4.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to performance monitoring events to minimize the risk of exploitation.
