Description
The aio_mount function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7.7 does not properly restrict execute access, which makes it easier for local users to bypass intended SELinux W^X policy restrictions, and consequently gain privileges, via an io_setup system call.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (< 3.16.43)
• linux linux kernel (>= 3.17 < 4.4.24)
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.5 < 4.7.7)
• google android (<= 7.1.1)
