Summary kernel: unaccounted ipc objects in Linux kernel lead to breaking memcg limits and DoS attacks CVE-2021-3759 kernel: unaccounted ipc objects in Linux kernel lead to breaking memcg limits and DoS attacks
RaTasha Tillery-Smith 2021-09-01 18:59:25 UTC Doc Text A flaw memory overflow in the Linux kernel ipc functionality of the memcg subsystem was found in the way user calls semget for many times creating semaphores. A local user could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of service. A memory overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s ipc functionality of the memcg subsystem, in the way a user calls the semget function multiple times, creating semaphores. This flaw allows a local user to starve the resources, causing a denial of service.
