Security controls bypass or absence In linux

Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit a vulnerability where freezing the request queue within certain sysfs store callbacks can lead to a deadlock. This issue may occur when combined with the device-mapper multipath (dm-multipath) driver and the queue_if_no_path option, or when sysfs attributes are set synchronously. Successful exploitation could result in a Denial of Service (DoS) by making the system unresponsive.

Mitigation

Update Impact
