Summary:
The Linux kernel is prone to multiple local denial-of-service vulnerabilities.

Attackers can exploit these issues to crash the affected kernel, denying service to legitimate users. Given the nature of these issues, attackers may also be able to execute arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed.

These issues affect versions prior to Linux kernel 2.6.25.10.
