Since the page allocator does not yield CPU resources to the owner of the oom_lock mutex, a local unprivileged user can trivially lock up the system forever by wasting CPU resources from the page allocator (e.g., via concurrent page fault events) when the global OOM killer is invoked. NOTE: the software maintainer has not accepted certain proposed patches, in part because of a viewpoint that \"the underlying problem is non-trivial to handle.","title":"Description of the CVE"},{"category":"legal_disclaimer","text":"CSAF 2.0 data is provided by SUSE under the Creative Commons License 4.0 with Attribution (CC-BY-4.0).","title":"Terms of use"}],"publisher":{"category":"vendor","contact_details":"https://www.suse.com/support/security/contact/","name":"SUSE Product Security Team","namespace":"https://www.suse.com/"},"references":[{"category":"external","summary":"CVE-2016-10723","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2016-10723"},{"category":"external","summary":"SUSE Security Ratings","url":"https://www.suse.com/support/security/rating/"},{"category":"external","summary":"SUSE Bug 1098725 for CVE-2016-10723","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/1098725"}],"title":"SUSE CVE CVE-2016-10723","tracking":{"current_release_date":"2025-07-08T00:24:33Z","generator":{"date":"2023-02-15T04:53:31Z","engine":{"name":"cve-database.git:bin/generate-csaf-vex.pl","version":"1"}},"id":"CVE-2016-10723","initial_release_date":"2023-02-15T04:53:31Z","revision_history":[{"date":"2023-02-15T04:53:31Z","number":"2","summary":"Current version"},{"date":"2025-01-01T09:21:56Z","number":"3","summary":"Current version"},{"date":"2025-02-18T08:02:07Z","number":"4","summary":"Current version"},{"date":"2025-07-08T00:24:33Z","number":"5","summary":"Current version"}],"status":"interim","version":"5"}}}
