CVE-2019-9213

Disclosure Date: March 05, 2019
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

In the Linux kernel before 4.20.14, expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacks a check for the mmap minimum address, which makes it easier for attackers to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a capability check for the wrong task.
