Changes

Since 042stab120.2:

  • mm: Privilege escalation via MAP_PRIVATE COW breakage. (CVE-2016-5195) A race condition was found in the way the Linux kernel's memory subsystem handled the copy-on-write (COW) breakage of private read-only memory mappings. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to gain write access to otherwise read-only memory mappings and thus increase their privileges on the system.
