linux kernel is vulnerable to incorrect access control. This occurs when handling clearing of attributes on /proc/pid/attr from the shell by ignoring terminating newlines and treating an attribute value that begins with a NUL or newline as an attempt to clear the attribute causing the system to attempt to access unmapped kernel memory resulting in an application crash.
