CVE-2016-5195 - log back

CVE-2016-5195 created at 25 Sep 2019 19:31:40
Severity	+ High
Remote	+ Local
Type	+ Privilege escalation
Description	+ A race condition was found in the way the Linux kernel's memory subsystem handled the copy-on-write (COW) breakage of private read-only memory mappings. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to gain write access to otherwise read-only memory mappings and thus increase their privileges on the system.
