JSON

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s bonding driver in the way a user bonds non existing or fake device. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system, causing a denial of service.

Mitigation

To mitigate this issue, prevent the module bonding from being loaded. Please see <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278> for information on how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
