Description:
8
 
 mm/huge_memory.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38-rc5 does not prevent
9
 
 creation of a transparent huge page (THP) during the existence of a
10
 
 temporary stack for an exec system call, which allows local users to cause
11
 
 a denial of service (memory consumption) or possibly have unspecified other
12
 
 impact via a crafted application.
13
 
Ubuntu-Description:
14
 
 It was discoverd that transparent huge page support did not correctly
15
 
 handle temporary stacks. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the
16
 
 system, leading to a denial of service.
