kernel is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS). The vulnerability exists as a deficiency was found in the Remote BIOS Update (RBU) driver for Dell systems. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service by reading zero bytes from the image_type or packet_size files in “/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/”.
