| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.33-rc7
Description
The issue is related to the wake futex pi function in kernel/futex.c, which does not properly handle certain unlock operations for a Priority Inheritance (PI) futex. This allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) and possibly have other unspecified impacts via vectors involving modification of the futex value from user space.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.33-rc7, update to version 2.6.33-rc7 or later to resolve the issue.
