Description

The kill_something_info function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13, when an unspecified architecture and compiler is used, might allow local users to cause a denial of service via an INT_MIN argument.
The Linux kernel has an undefined behavior when an argument of INT_MIN is passed to the kernel/signal.c:kill_something_info() function. A local attacker may be able to exploit this to cause a denial of service.
