FKIE_CVE-2005-4811
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2005-12-31 05:00 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:19
Severity
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.
