Description Andrej Nemec 2017-03-15 07:30:18 EDT 
Race condition in kernel/ucount.c in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls that leverage certain decrement behavior that causes incorrect interaction between put_ucounts and get_ucounts.

This issue did not affect the versions of the Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Enterprise MRG as they did not include the vulnerable code.
