Synopsis: Moderate: kernel update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:1348-1
Issue Date: 2013-09-30
CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-4398
—
This update fixes the following security issue:
It was found that a deadlock could occur in the Out of Memory (OOM)
killer. A process could trigger this deadlock by consuming a large amount
of memory, and then causing request_module() to be called. A local,
unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service
(excessive memory consumption). (CVE-2012-4398, Moderate)
The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
