CVE-2005-4811

Assigned:2005-08-05
Published:2005-08-05
Updated:2017-10-11
Summary:The hugepage code (hugetlb.c) in Linux kernel 2.6, possibly 2.6.12 and 2.6.13, in certain configurations, allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by triggering an mmap error before a prefault, which causes an error in the unmap_hugepage_area function.
