CVE-2019-11190
Last modified
CVE-2019-11190 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Linux kernel before 4.8 allows local users to bypass ASLR on setuid programs (such as /bin/su) because install_exec_creds() is called too late in load_elf_binary() in fs/binfmt_elf.c, and thus the ptrace_may_access() check has a race condition when reading /proc/pid/stat.. EPSS estimates a 0.48% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
