Id Description
3315 Linux Kernel do_mremap() Privilege Escalation

A local overflow exists in the Linux kernel. The do_mremap() function fails to perform bounds checking resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability.
