The vulnerability of the `register_queue_kobjects()` function in the Linux operating system allows a hacker to trigger a service failure.

The vulnerability of the registerqueuekobjects function in the Linux operating system’s kernel net/core/net-sysfs.c is related to a memory leak issue. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause service interruptions remotely...

A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel before 5.8-rc6 in the ZRAM kernel module where a user with a local account and the ability to read the /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add file can create ZRAM device nodes in the /dev/ directory. This read allocates kernel memory and is not accounted for a user that triggers the creation of that ZRAM device. With this vulnerability continually reading the device may consume a large amount of system memory and cause the Out-of-Memory (OOM) killer to activate and terminate random userspace processes possibly making the system inoperable.
