Descriptions

The LIST_POISON feature in include/linux/poison.h in the Linux kernel before 4.3, as used in Android 6.0.1 before 2016-03-01, does not properly consider the relationship to the mmap_min_addr value, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass a poison-pointer protection mechanism by triggering the use of an uninitialized list entry, aka Android internal bug 26186802, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-3636.

La funcionalidad LIST_POISON en include/linux/poison.h en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.3, como se utiliza en Android 6.0.1 en versiones anteriores a 2016-03-01, no considera adecuadamente la relación del valor mmap_min_addr, lo que hace más fácil a atacantes eludir un mecanismo de protección poison-pointer desencadenando el uso de una entrada de lista no inicializada, también conocido como error interno de Android 26186802, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-3636.
