Percentile
10.3%
kernel-rt is vulnerable to ASLR bypass attacks. The vulnerability exists as the vdso_addr function in arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2 does not properly choose memory locations for the vDSO area, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by guessing a location at the end of a PMD.
