Description
The assoc_array_gc function in the associative-array implementation in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3 does not properly implement garbage collection, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via multiple "keyctl newring" operations followed by a "keyctl timeout" operation.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 3.13 < 3.14.19)
• linux linux kernel (>= 3.15 < 3.16.3)
