CVE-2014-9585

Linux kernel <3.18.2 - Info Disclosure

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The vdso_addr function in arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2 does not properly choose memory locations for the vDSO area, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by guessing a location at the end of a PMD.
