SOURCE FACT
Linux · Kernel
The get_user and put_user API functions of the Linux kernel fail to validate the target address when being used on ARM v6k/v7 platforms. This allows an application to read and write kernel memory which could lead to privilege escalation.
Required action
Apply updates per vendor instructions.
