Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's tracing subsystem. In the event filter parser, insufficient boundary checks allow the operator stack to be written past its allocated limit. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a specially crafted trace filter expression, triggering an out-of-bounds write. This issue primarily results in a system crash, causing a Denial of Service (DoS), or potential kernel memory corruption.
