Vulnerability Name:

CCN-78052

Published:2012-08-26
Updated:2012-08-26
Summary:Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer dereference in the i.MX clock infrastructure. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted WAV file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the kernel to crash.
