Linux kernel is the kernel used by Linux, the open source operating system of the Linux Foundation in the United States. The Linux Kernel suffers from a memory misreference vulnerability that originates from a confusion in net/sched/cls_fw.c in the instruction responsible for freeing memory. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform a local elevation of privilege and cause the disclosure of kernel information.
