Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2016-08-06 20:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:44
Severity
Summary
The trace_writeback_dirty_page implementation in include/trace/events/writeback.h in the Linux kernel before 4.4 improperly interacts with mm/migrate.c, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a certain page move.
