Last modified
CVE-2017-1000370 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The offset2lib patch as used in the Linux Kernel contains a vulnerability that allows a PIE binary to be execve()'ed with 1GB of arguments or environmental strings then the stack occupies the address 0x80000000 and the PIE binary is mapped above 0x40000000 nullifying the protection of the offset2lib patch. This affects Linux Kernel version 4.11.5 and earlier. EPSS estimates a 2.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
