Descriptions
The mm_init function in kernel/fork.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.10 does not clear the ->exe_file member of a new process's mm_struct, allowing a local attacker to achieve a use-after-free or possibly have unspecified other impact by running a specially crafted program.
La funciĆ³n mm_init en kernel/fork.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a la 4.12.10 no elimina el miembro ->exe_file del mm_struct de un nuevo proceso.
