Created: Mar 27, 2019    Updated: May 18, 2019
Resolved Date: Apr 19, 2019
Found In Version: unknown
Fix Version: 9.0.0.21
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 9
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel before 4.20.14, expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacks a check for the mmap minimum address, which makes it easier for attackers to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a capability check for the wrong task.
