Description Adam Mariš 2016-07-21 11:11:27 EDT
A process that is in the same process group as the ``init'' process (group id zero) can crash the Linux kernel with several system calls by passing in a process ID or process group ID of zero. The value zero is a special value that indicates the current process ID or process group. However, in this case it is also the process group ID of the process.

Comment 5 Wade Mealing 2017-02-08 02:20:08 EST
Statement:

This flaw affects Red Hat Enteprise Linux 5 and 6 and is not able to be exploited in the default configuration.  Administrators would need to replace the init daemon with alternative systems to exploit this system crash correctly.

No update is planned to be released for this flaw.

I've just removed that from the comment #0 and doctxt.
