Vulnerability Name:

CCN-237855

Published:2022-08-29
Updated:2022-08-29
Summary:Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a use-after-free flaw due to anon_vma->degree ambiguity leading to double-reuse. By execution a specially-crafted program, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition on the system.
