Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 3.19.2
Description
The issue is related to the xsave/xrstor implementation in the Linux kernel, which does not provide protection against instruction faulting. This allows local users to cause a denial of service by triggering a fault, for example, through an unaligned memory operand or a non-canonical address memory operand.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.19.2, update to version 3.19.2 or later to resolve the issue.
