Created: Mar 18, 2015    Updated: Dec 3, 2018
Resolved Date: Apr 2, 2015
Previous ID: LIN4-32360
Found In Version: 6.0.0.18
Fix Version: 6.0.0.19
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 6
Component/s: Kernel

Description

The stack randomization feature in the Linux kernel before 3.19.1 on 64-bit platforms uses incorrect data types for the results of bitwise left-shift operations, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by predicting the address of the top of the stack, related to the randomize_stack_top function in fs/binfmt_elf.c and the stack_maxrandom_size function in arch/x86/mm/mmap.c.
