FKIE_CVE-2015-1593
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2015-03-16 10:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:22
Severity
Summary
The stack randomization feature in the Linux kernel before 3.19.1 on 64-bit platforms uses incorrect data types for the results of bitwise left-shift operations, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by predicting the address of the top of the stack, related to the randomize_stack_top function in fs/binfmt_elf.c and the stack_maxrandom_size function in arch/x86/mm/mmap.c.
