GHSA-q4m2-jww9-j4j3 PUBLISHED CVSS 6.900000095367432 MEDIUM

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published May 1, 2022

The Linux kernel 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 before 2.6.25.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of calls to the get_user_pages function, which lacks a ZERO_PAGE optimization and results in allocation of "useless newly zeroed pages."
