Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's zram module. This vulnerability allows a local user to cause a system hang, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). The issue occurs because the zram module fails to properly handle partial discard requests, specifically by not calling endio when such requests are made. This oversight causes the blkdiscard utility to wait indefinitely, effectively freezing the system.
