NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream procps package and not the procps package as distributed by Ubuntu.

procps-ng before version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to a denial of service in ps via mmap buffer overflow. Inbuilt protection in ps maps a guard page at the end of the overflowed buffer, ensuring that the impact of this flaw is limited to a crash (temporary denial of service).
