NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-debug-devel package and not the kernel-uek-debug-devel package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the vma_to_resize function in mm/mremap.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG_ON and system crash) via a crafted mremap system call that expands a memory mapping.
