CVE-2019-11599

The coredump implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.0.10 does not use locking or other mechanisms to prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it runs, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a race condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls. This is related to fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c, fs/proc/task_mmu.c, and drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c.

La implementación del coredump en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 5.0.10, no utiliza mecanismos de bloqueo u otros mecanismos para evitar cambios en el layout de vma o en los flags vma mientras se ejecuta, lo que permite a los usuarios locales obtener información sensible, causar una denegación de servicio o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado al activar una condición de carrera con llamadas mmget_not_zero o get_task_mm. Esto está relacionado con fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c, fs/proc/task_mmu.c, y drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c
