**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel version 2.6 **Description** The issue is related to the improper clearing of posix-timers in multi-threaded environments, resulting in a resource leak. This could allow multiple local users to cause a denial of service by using more posix-timers than specified by the quota for a single user. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel version 2.6, consider restricting the use of posix-timers to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux versions 2.6 **Description** The issue in fs/exec.c might allow local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by forcing a core dump when a traced thread is in the TASK TRACED state, specifically when one thread is tracing another thread that shares the same memory map. **Recommendations** For Linux version 2.6, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
