Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform service disruption.

The mprotect code (mprotect.c) in Linux 2.6 on Itanium IA64 Montecito processors does not properly maintain cache coherency as required by the architecture, which allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly corrupt data by modifying PTE protections.


Remediation

Install update from vendor's repository.
