Veracode Vulnerability DatabaseVERACODE:18238Denial Of Service (DoS) Resource Consumption
EPSS
Percentile
5.2%
Linux kernel is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) resource consumption attacks. Two memory leaks were detected in xfs_attr_shortform_list and xfs_attr3_leaf_list_int when running a docker container backed by xfs/overlay2. A dedicated attacker could possible exhaust all memory and create a denial of service situation.
