Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Linux Kernel, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the "parisc_show_stack()" function when trying to unwind a stack containing userspace addresses, which can be exploited to crash a vulnerable system.
Successful exploitation requires that the kernel is running on a PARISC 32bit or 64bit machine.
