The kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, when running on SMP systems, allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by running the shmat function on an shm at the same time that shmctl is removing that shm (IPC_RMID), which prevents a spinlock from being unlocked.

Exploit prediction (EPSS)

0.39% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 33% of all scored CVEs.
