Background

The Kernel is a critical component of the Linux operating system that manages system resources and facilitates communication between hardware and software. It is responsible for tasks such as process management, memory management, and device drivers. The vulnerability identified in the Kernel pertains to the copying of ASM exception handlers. ASM exception handlers are used to handle exceptions or interrupts that occur during the execution of assembly code. This vulnerability can lead to a fortify panic, which is a security mechanism that terminates the program when a potential vulnerability is detected. The impact and attack plausibility of this vulnerability have not been proven yet.

Vulnerability Detail

The vulnerability in the Kernel occurs when copying ASM exception handlers. It can potentially lead to a fortify panic, causing the program to terminate. The exact origin and potential ramifications of this vulnerability are yet to be determined. However, it is important to note that the vulnerability has been fixed in the Linux Kernel version v4.14.276 by commit e7036df78359213bbf104b342a28ba67aba8c9b8.
