The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c. A local user can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
2) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52520)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the tlmi_release_attr() and tlmi_sysfs_init() functions in drivers/platform/x86/think-lmi.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52615)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper locking within the rng_get_data() and rng_dev_read() functions in drivers/char/hw_random/core.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26744)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to NULL pointer dereference within the module_param() function in drivers/infiniband/ulp/srpt/ib_srpt.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35801)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the fpu__init_cpu_xstate() function in arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-47497)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read error within the nvmem_shift_read_buffer_in_place() function in drivers/nvmem/core.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-43830)
