Description Vladis Dronov 2016-05-06 09:49:56 EDT 
A security flaw was found in the Linux kernel that
there is a way to arbitrary change zero page memory. Zero page is a page
which kernel maps into virtual address space on read page fault if the
page was not allocated before. Kernel has one zero page which used
everywhere. Programs that map 0 page are affected and code execution can
be gained. Upon running the exploit the system may become unusable as the
linker memory pages gets tainted. Furthermore, if the right code is put
in the 0 page, code execution is possible.
