Descriptions
The prctl_set_vma_anon_name function in kernel/sys.c in Android before 5.1.1 LMY49F and 6.0 before 2016-01-01 does not ensure that only one vma is accessed in a certain update action, which allows attackers to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (vma list corruption) via a crafted application, aka internal bug 20017123.
La función prctl_set_vma_anon_name en kernel/sys.c en Android en versiones anteriores a 5.1.1 LMY49F y 6.0 en versiones anteriores a 2016-01-01 no asegura que se accede a un solo vma en cierta acción de actualización, lo que permite a atacantes obtener privilegios o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de lista vma) a través de una aplicación manipulada, también conocida como error interno 20017123.
