CVE-2016-3070: Debian Linux
High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
The trace_writeback_dirty_page implementation in include/trace/events/writeback.h in the Linux kernel before 4.4 improperly interacts with mm/migrate.c, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a certain page move.
