Description The issue is related to multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel and associated packages, which can lead to a disruption of protected information. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely. The affected packages include kernel-image, kernel-headers, kernel-pcmcia-modules, lm-sensors, and i2c. The exploitation of these vulnerabilities may result in a denial of service (kernel crash) via ptrace and the restore sigcontext function.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
