kernel is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS). The vulnerability exists as a flaw was found in the handling of process death signals. This allowed a local user to send arbitrary signals to the suid-process executed by that user. A successful exploitation of this flaw depends on the structure of the suid-program and its signal handling.
