Description |
The Linux kernel contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered due to a error within the "lease_init()" function in "fs/locks.c" which may free memory that was not allocated using the "locks_alloc_lock()" function, and will result in loss of availability for the platform.
