<p>In <a href="Computing" title="Computing">computing</a>, an <b>oops</b> is a serious but non-fatal error in the <a href="Linux_kernel" title="Linux kernel">Linux kernel</a>. An oops may precede a <a href="Kernel_panic" title="Kernel panic">kernel panic</a>, but it may also allow continued operation with compromised <a href="Reliability_engineering" title="Reliability engineering">reliability</a>. The term does not stand for anything, other than that it is a simple mistake.

<p>When the kernel detects a problem, it <a href="Kill_(Unix)" class="mw-redirect" title="Kill (Unix)">kills</a> any offending <a href="Process_(computing)" title="Process (computing)">processes</a> and prints an <i>oops message</i>, which Linux kernel engineers can use in <a href="Debugging" title="Debugging">debugging</a> the <a href="Fault_(technology)" title="Fault (technology)">condition</a> that created the oops and <a href="Patch_(computing)" title="Patch (computing)">fixing</a> the underlying programming error. After a system has experienced an oops, some internal resources may no longer be operational. Thus, even if the system appears to work correctly, undesirable side effects may have resulted from the active task being killed. A kernel oops often leads to a <a href="Kernel_panic" title="Kernel panic">kernel panic</a> when the system attempts to use resources that have been lost. Some kernels are configured to panic when many oopses (10,000 by default) have occurred.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This oops limit is due to the potential, for example, for attackers to repeatedly trigger an oops and an associated <a href="Resource_leak" title="Resource leak">resource leak</a>, which eventually <a href="Integer_overflow" title="Integer overflow">overflows an integer</a> and allows further exploitation.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
