Description
The move_pages system call in mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.9 doesn't check the effective uid of the target process, enabling a local attacker to learn the memory layout of a setuid executable despite ASLR.
The move_pages system call in mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel doesn't check the effective uid of the target process. This enables a local attacker to learn the memory layout of a setuid executable allowing mitigation of ASLR.
