Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel versions prior to 4.15.8 Description: The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service via a crafted application that makes mmap system calls and has a large pgoff argument to the remap file pages system call. This is due to a problem in the resv map release function in mm/hugetlb.c. Recommendations: For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.15.8, update to version 4.15.8 or later to resolve the issue.
