Details

It was discovered that the HugeTLB file system component of the Linux
Kernel contained a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged
attacker could possibly use this to to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-0841)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
