| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 23894 | Linux Kernel Multiple Function String Length Modification Race Condition Loca... The Linux Kernel contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when a race condition occurs that allows an attacker to modify an argument of a copy operation after is has been validated, but before it is used. This may present a window of opportunity for an attacker to gain access to sensitive information stored in memory. |
