Linux Kernel do_mremap Function VMA Limit Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
It has been reported that the Linux kernel may be prone to a local privilege escalation vulnerability due to a improper checks on return values performed in the do_mremap system function. Successful exploitation of this issue may allow a local attacker with limited privileges on a host to fully compromise the system because special privileges are not required to use the mremap(2) system call. The issue may also allow a denial of service condition on available system memory. |
