The Linux kernel is exposed to a local denial of
service issue because it fails to provide adequate
exception handling for the "__futex_atomic_op1",
"__futex_atomic_op2", and "futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()"
macros. The LOCK_PREFIX is replaced by NOP
instructions, which can trigger a kernel panic.
