arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S in the Linux kernel through 3.15.1 on 32-bit x86 platforms, when syscall auditing is enabled and the sep CPU feature flag is set, allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS and system crash) via an invalid syscall number, as demonstrated by number 1000.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A local user on certain 32-bit Linux systems could crash the machine by triggering a kernel syscall-auditing bug. This is an availability issue, not documented remote takeover. Business urgency is highest for legacy 32-bit Linux hosts still running old kernels with syscall auditing enabled. Exposure appears limited to legacy 32-bit x86 Linux systems running affected kernels, with syscall auditing enabled and sep present. Modern 64-bit systems are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Treat as a targeted legacy availability risk. Patch or retire affected 32-bit Linux systems, especially shared servers where local users can execute code. Mitigation focus: Apply applicable vendor kernel security updates from Ubuntu, SUSE, or distribution guidance.; Prioritize legacy 32-bit x86 hosts running Linux kernel 3.15.1 or earlier.; If patching is delayed, check vendor guidance before changing audit configuration..
