"A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's watch queue due to a
missing lock in pipe_resize_ring(). The specific flaw exists within
the handling of pipe buffers. The issue results from the lack of
proper locking when performing operations on an object. This flaw
allows a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges
on the system.
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
