[USN-3106-1] Linux kernel vulnerability

Severity High
Affected Packages 8
CVEs 1
Info Packages Vulnerabilities

The system could be made to run programs as an administrator.

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the memory manager of
the Linux kernel when handling copy-on-write breakage of private read-only
memory mappings. A local attacker could use this to gain administrative
privileges.
