An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.18.8. The
vmacache_flush_all function in mm/vmacache.c mishandles sequence number
overflows. An attacker can trigger a use-after-free (and possibly gain
privileges) via certain thread creation, map, unmap, invalidation, and
dereference operations.
