Descriptions
The mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event function in mm/memcontrol.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.10 does not properly handle multiple events that are attached to the same eventfd, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by registering memory threshold events.
La función mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event en mm/memcontrol.c en el núcleo de Linux anteriores a v3.2.10 no maneja apropiadamente múltiples eventos que son asociados al mismo eventfd, lo cual permite a usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (puntero nulo sin referencia y caída del sistema) o posiblemente tener un impacto no especificado por el registro de eventos en el límite de la memoria.
