Linux Kernel Process Spawning Race Condition Environment Variable Disclosure Vulnerability

The Linux Kernel is prone to a race condition that may potentially expose information about the environment of a process.

The race condition is reported to occur while a process is spawning. If the condition is successfully exploited, an attacker could read environment variables associated with a process they do not own.
