Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2014-3122 (CCN-92891)

Assigned:2013-03-19
Published:2013-03-19
Updated:2023-02-13
Summary:The try_to_unmap_cluster function in mm/rmap.c in the Linux kernel before 3.14.3 does not properly consider which pages must be locked, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by triggering a memory-usage pattern that requires removal of page-table mappings.
