CVE-2007-6694

Publication date 29 January 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The chrp_show_cpuinfo function (chrp/setup.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.21 through 2.6.18-53, when running on PowerPC, might allow local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via unknown vectors that cause the of_get_property function to fail, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
