Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Linux Kernel, which could be exploited by local attackers to cause a denial of service.
The first flaw is due to an error in the Universal Disk Format (UDF) module when truncating certain files, which could be exploited by malicious users to panic a vulnerable system, creating a denial of service condition.
The second vulnerability is due to an error when handling SCTP sockets with a specially crafted "SO_LINGER" value, which could be exploited by malicious users to panic a vulnerable system, creating a denial of service condition.
