EPSS
Percentile
10.3%
The kernel is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation.A system with SELinux enforced was more permissive in allowing local users in the unconfined_t domain to map low memory areas even if the mmap_min_addr restriction was enabled. This could aid in the local exploitation of NULL pointer dereference bugs.
