CVE-2016-10723

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.2. Since the page allocator does not yield CPU resources to the owner of the oomlock mutex, a local unprivileged user can trivially lock up the system forever by wasting CPU resources from the page allocator e.g., via concurrent page fault...

CVE-2016-10723

CVE-2016-10723 affects the Linux kernel up to version 4.17.2. The issue is in the page allocator: it does not yield CPU resources to the owner of the oom_lock mutex, allowing a local unprivileged user to trap the system in a busy loop by wasting CPU time during oom-killer invocation. The root cau...

Linux - mincore() Uninitialized Kernel Heap Page Disclosure Exploit

Linux mincore discloses uninitialized kernel heap pages. When walkpagerange is used on a VMHUGETLB VMA, callbacks from the mmwalk structure are only invoked for present pages. However, domincore assumes that it will always get callbacks for all pages in the range passed to walkpagerange, and when...
