Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw when running mmap() using the MAP_HUGETLB or shmget() with SHM_HUGETLB. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain or change data that resides on hugetlbfs.
Refer to Linux Security Advisory for patch, upgrade, or suggested workaround information.
