Descriptions
Linux kernel before 2.6.18, when running on x86_64 systems, does not properly save or restore EFLAGS during a context switch, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by causing SYSENTER to set an NT flag, which can trigger a crash on the IRET of the next task.
El núcleo de Linux anterior a 2.6.18, cuando se ejecuta en sistemas x86_64, no guarda o restaura adecuadamente las EFLAGS durante un cambio de contexto, lo cual permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) provocando que SYSENTER active una bandera NT, lo que dispara una caída en el IRET de la siguiente tarea.
