CVE Details

Release Date:

2017-01-20

Description

The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.12does not restrict the address calculated by a certain rounding operation, which allows local users to map page zero, and consequently bypass a protection mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by making crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a privileged context.
