CVE-2024-45021

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local user can exploit this vulnerability by triggering an 'oops' in the memcg_write_event_control() function. This issue arises because the kernel does not guarantee that memory beyond a null terminator is properly mapped, leading to an improper memory access. Successful exploitation can result in a denial of service (DoS) due to system instability.
