We keep coming across various security loopholes in different software
on a daily basis, but it rarely happens that Linux kernel gets
crippled by a high-impact flaw. However, things are looking a bit
different today as millions of Linux systems have been found to be
affected by a massive flaw.

It’s being reported that the kernel versions prior to 5.0.8 are
affected by a race condition vulnerability. For those who aren’t
aware, race condition attacks take place when a system designed to
perform tasks in a particular sequence is made to perform two or more
operations simultaneously. During this state, interference could be
caused by a trusted/untrusted process.
