The perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler function in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large value, as demonstrated by an incorrect sample-rate calculation.

CVE-2016-10208 [MEDIUM] Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Ralf Spenneberg discovered that the ext4 implementation in the Linux kernel
did not properly validate meta block groups. An attacker with physical
access could use this to specially craft an ext4 image that causes a denial
of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-10208)
It was discovered that an information disclosure vulnerability existed in
the ACPI implementation of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use
this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory addresses).
(CVE-2017-11472)

implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to
construct a malicious ACPI table that, when loaded, cau

kernel: Integer overflow in events/core.c:perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler() can allow for denial of service
The perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler function in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large value, as demonstrated by an incorrect sample-rate calculation.
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's kernel/events/core.c:perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler() function. Local privileged users could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service due to integer overflow or possibly have unspecified other impact.
