The kernel package is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Multiple Devices (md) driver in the Linux kernel. If the “suspend_lo” or “suspend_hi” file on the sysfs file system (“/sys/”) is modified when the disk array is inactive, it could lead to a local denial of service or privilege escalation.
