A vulnerability was found in the pstore/ram component of the Linux kernel, which caused crashes when the number of CPU cores was set to an odd number. This issue occurs because the odd-numbered zones became misaligned. This flaw allows a local, authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service.
Red Hat has investigated whether a possible mitigation exists for this issue, and has not been able to identify a practical example. Please update the affected package as soon as possible.
