| Revision Date: | 2017-02-06 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2017-5546 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) - low. | | Description: | The freelist-randomization feature in mm/slab.c in the Linux kernel 4.8.x and 4.9.x before 4.9.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (duplicate freelist entries and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging the selection of a large value for a random number. It was discovered that the freelist-randomization in the SLAB memory allocator allowed duplicate freelist entries. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
