**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 an infinite loop. This occurs when a writev system call is made, triggering an iovec of zero length, followed by a page fault for an iovec of nonzero length. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.25, update to version 2.6.25 or later to resolve the issue.
