Linux Kernel is the kernel used by the Linux Foundation’s open source operating system, Linux. Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a security flaw that stems from measuring shared memory usage that does not scale as the number of shared memory segments increases. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability to cause resource exhaustion and thus denial of service.
