  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel through 4.14.13, drivers/block/loop.c mishandles lo_release serialization, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (__lock_acquire use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of loopback devices. An attacker, who has permissions to setup loopback disks, may create a denial of service or other unspecified actions." ],
  "statement" : "This issue does not affect the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.\nThis issue affects the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and MRG-2.\nFuture Linux kernel updates for the respective releases may address this issue.",
