CVSS 2.0 ([email protected]): 2.1 LOW — AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Description

The vdso_addr function in arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2 does not properly choose memory locations for the vDSO area, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by guessing a location at the end of a PMD.
