Linux kernel built with the system-call auditing support(CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL) for 32-bit platforms is vulnerable to a crash caused by erroneous handling of bad system call numerals. It occurs during syscall(2) calls, if system-call auditing is enabled on the system. An unprivileged user/process could use this flaw to crash the system kernel resulting in DoS.
