A vulnerability was found in HobbesOSR Kitten up to c4f8b7c3158983d1020af432be1b417b28686736 and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is the function set_pte_at in the library /include/arch-arm64/pgtable.h. The manipulation leads to resource consumption. Continious delivery with rolling releases is used by this product. Therefore, no version details of affected nor updated releases are available.
