Hey, it's public now. Please visit: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1822593

I'm not sure whether it exists on the mainline kernel. Maybe I'll do some research sometime.

Thanks.

"A race condition was found in the Linux kernel audit subsystem. When the system is configured to panic on events 
being dropped, an attacker who is able to trigger an audit event that starts while auditd is in the process of 
starting may be able to cause the system to panic by exploiting a race condition in audit event handling. This 
creates a denial of service by causing a panic."

That bug link seems to be restricted at the moment :(

Env:
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.7 (Maipo)
    3.10.0-1062.12.1.el7.x86_64

Any hint on if this is still an issue on the "mainline" kernel.org
releases or not given that 3.10 is a bit old?

thanks,
