"An issue was discovered in the fd_locked_ioctl function in

copy a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM
ioctl. An attacker can send the FDGETPRM ioctl and use the obtained
kernel pointer to discover the location of kernel code and data and
bypass kernel security protections such as KASLR.(CVE-2018-7755)
