Revision Date: 2017-10-01 Version: 1 Title: CVE-2017-14954 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (trusty) - low. Description: The waitid implementation in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.4 accesses rusage data structures in unintended cases, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information, and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism, via a crafted system call.
