The Linux kernel is affected by a local denial of service vulnerability in its ReiserFS file system functionality. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly handle files under certain conditions. An attacker may leverage this issue to trigger a livelock in the affected file system, forcing a user to restart the computer to return it to proper functionality.
