Veracode Vulnerability DatabaseVERACODE:19173Denial Of Service (DoS)
EPSS
Percentile
5.1%
Linux kernel is vulnerable to denial of service(DoS) attacks. This occurs in implementation of associative arrays where the add_key systemcall and KEYCTL_UPDATE operations allowed for a NULL payload with a nonzero length. When accessing the payload within this length parameters value, an unprivileged user could trivially cause a NULL pointer dereference.
