Detail
| The sys_add_key function in the keyring code in Linux kernel 2.6.16.1 and 2.6.17-rc1, and possibly earlier versions, allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via keyctl requests that add a key to a user key instead of a keyring key, which causes an invalid dereference in the __keyring_search_one function. |

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 24507 | Linux Kernel __keyring_search_one() Function Local DoS The Linux kernel contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered in the kernel's key retention facility. When an attempt is made to add a key to a keyring that is not actually a keyring structure, the '__keyring_search_one()' function fails to detect that issue and kernel 'oops' occurs, which will result in loss of availability for the platform. |
