Descriptions
fs/splice.c in the splice subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.2 does not properly handle a failure of the add_to_page_cache_lru function, and subsequently attempts to unlock a page that was not locked, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel BUG and system crash), as demonstrated by the fio I/O tool.
fs/splice.c en el subsistema "splice" en el kernel de Linux anterior a v2.6.22.2 no maneja de forma adecuada un fallo en la función add_to_page_cache_Lru, y como consecuencia intentar desbloquear una página que no está bloqueada, lo que permite que usuarios locales puedan provocar una denegación de servicio (Error del Kernel y caída del sistema), como se demostró por la herramienta "fio I/O".
