Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The vulnerability is related to the sys membarrier function in the Linux kernel's membarrier component. It can cause a denial of service due to uncontrolled resource consumption. On some systems, sys membarrier can be very expensive, leading to overall slowdowns. To prevent this, a lock has been put on the path to serialize accesses and prevent the function from being called at too high a frequency.
