Description:
|
| 53 |
The do_fork function in Linux 2.4.x before 2.4.26, and 2.6.x before 2.6.6,
|
| 54 |
does not properly decrement the mm_count counter when an error occurs after
|
| 55 |
the mm_struct for a child process has been activated, which triggers a memory
|
| 56 |
leak that allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion)
|
| 57 |
via the clone (CLONE_VM) system call.
