It has been reported that the Linux Kernel is affected by an IO access inheritance vulnerability. This issue is due to an access validation error that fails to invalidate all io_bitmap pointers before a process exits. This issue could allow local users to lock up the affected system, denying service to legitimate users. This issue might also allow an attacker to gain escalated privileges.
