Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AppArmor security module. The system's rlimit (resource limit) for POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) CPU timers was not correctly enforced. This issue, stemming from an overlooked step in applying resource limits, could allow a local attacker to bypass intended CPU time restrictions, potentially leading to excessive resource consumption or a denial of service.
