CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11599

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls and is related to fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c, fs/proc/task_mmu.c, and drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c due to kernel does not use locking or other mechanisms to prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it runs. A local user can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and escalate privileges on the system.
