**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.25 **Description** The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in a soft lockup, by sending a large amount of network traffic. This can be demonstrated by running multiple simultaneous instances of the Netperf benchmark application in UDP STREAM mode. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.25, update to version 2.6.25 or later to resolve the issue.
