Descriptions

mm/mmap.c in the hugetlb kernel, when run on PowerPC systems, does not prevent stack expansion from entering into reserved kernel page memory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via unspecified vectors.

mm/mmap.c en el núcleo hugetlb, cuando se ejecuta en un sistema PowerP, no evita que la expansión de la pila entre en una página de memoria reservada por el núcleo, lo cual permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (OOPS) mediante vectores no especificados.
