Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a denial of service by repeatedly loading and unloading the i10nm_edac module. This occurs because the adxl_component_count variable in the skx_edac_common module is not properly reset, leading to an out-of-bounds read in the ADXL component array. This out-of-bounds read causes a general protection fault, which results in a system crash and denial of service.
