Linux kernel fs/locks __setlease() denial of service
| linux-locks-setlease-dos (26438) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Linux kernel could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, caused by a memory leak in the __setlease() function. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the consumption of all available memory resources, resulting in a denial of service.
Consequences:
Denial of Service
Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest stable version of the Linux kernel (2.6.16.16 or later), available from The Linux Kernel Archives. See References.
