Descriptions
Race condition in Linux kernel 2.6.15 to 2.6.17, when running on SMP platforms, allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by creating and exiting a large number of tasks, then accessing the /proc entry of a task that is exiting, which causes memory corruption that leads to a failure in the prune_dcache function or a BUG_ON error in include/linux/list.h.
Condición de carrera en el kernel de Linux 2.6.15 hasta la versión 2.6.17, cuando se está ejecutado en plataformas SMP, permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) creando y finalizando un gran número de tareas, posteriormente accediendo a entrada /proc de una tarea que está finalizando, lo que provoca corrupción de memoria que conduce a un fallo en la función prune_dcache o un error BUG_ON en include/linux/list.h.
