kernel-rt is vulnerable to denial of service. An off-by-two error was found in the set_selection() function of the Linux kernel. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service when making a selection of characters in a UTF-8 console. Note: physical console access is required to exploit this issue.
