  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nhwrng: core - Fix page fault dead lock on mmap-ed hwrng\nThere is a dead-lock in the hwrng device read path.  This triggers\nwhen the user reads from /dev/hwrng into memory also mmap-ed from\n/dev/hwrng.  The resulting page fault triggers a recursive read\nwhich then dead-locks.\nFix this by using a stack buffer when calling copy_to_user.", "A vulnerability was found in the hwrng component of the Linux kernel, which caused a deadlock when reading from /dev/hwrng into memory and mmap-ed from /dev/hwrng. This issue is triggered by a recursive read during a page fault and allows a local, authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service." ],
