Description msiddiqu 2020-03-31 09:52:35 UTC 
A vulnerability was found in MMU code in kernel where there is a possible execution path leaving some kernel text and rodata pages writable. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
