Id Description
4456 Linux Kernel mxcsr CPU State Register Modification

Linux kernel contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when the Linux kernel function "set_fpxregs" doesn't consider the "__copy_from_user" failed condition. This could cause the contents of the MXCSR register to be corrupted, and potentially cause a reserved bit within the register to be unexpectedly set, resulting in loss of availability for the platform.
