Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to JVM can be forced into an infinite busy hang on a spinlock or a segmentation fault if a shutdown signal (SIGTERM, SIGINT or SIGHUP) is received before the JVM has finished initializing. A local privileged user can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
