CVE-2008-2372
linux linux kernel: no CVSS score yet. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
The Linux kernel 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 before 2.6.25.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of calls to the get_user_pages function, which lacks a ZERO_PAGE optimization and results in allocation of "useless newly zeroed pages."
