Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's kprobes test module. Improper cleanup of kprobes and kretprobes (kernel probes used for debugging and tracing) between test runs can lead to registration failures. Repeated execution of the kprobes sanity tests can cause the kernel to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This vulnerability affects the stability of the kernel when running these specific diagnostic tests.
