    CVE-2019-11190

    Published: 12 Apr 2019Last Modified: 15 Mar 2026

    Summary:

    Details: The Linux kernel before 4.8 allows local users to bypass ASLR on setuid programs (such as /bin/su) because install_exec_creds() is called too late in load_elf_binary() in fs/binfmt_elf.c, and thus the ptrace_may_access() check has a race condition when reading /proc/pid/stat.
