7219 | Linux Kernel do_fork Memory Leak Information Disclosure The Linux kernel contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered due to an error in the error path of the do_fork function; if an error exists after the allocation of the mm_struct for a child process, the do_fork function fails to free the process. This memory leak will disclose sensitive information, resulting in a loss of confidentiality, and consume system memory, resulting in a loss of availability through resource exhaustion. |
7218 | Linux Kernel Unspecified Memory Disclosure |
7077 | Linux Kernel __clear_fpu Infinite Loop DoS The Linux kernel contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when the fsave and frstor instructions are sent in a particular sequence, causing an infinite loop into a floating point exception, and will result in loss of availability for the kernel. |
