Last modified

CVE-2012-3511 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple race conditions in the madvise_remove function in mm/madvise.c in the Linux kernel before 3.4.5 allow local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) via vectors involving a (1) munmap or (2) close system call.. EPSS estimates a 0.38% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
