kernel: denial of service
| Package(s): | kernel | CVE #(s): | CVE-2007-4130 CVE-2007-6694 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Created: | February 1, 2008 | Updated: | May 2, 2008 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Description: | From the Red Hat advisory: A flaw was found in the way the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel handled page faults when a CPU used the NUMA method for accessing memory on Itanium architectures. A local unprivileged user could trigger this flaw and cause a denial of service (system panic). A possible NULL pointer dereference was found in the chrp_show_cpuinfo function when using the PowerPC architecture. This may have allowed a local unprivileged user to cause a denial of service (crash). | ||||||||||||||||||||
