Linux Kernel Competition Condition Issue Vulnerability (CNVD-2022-74088)

Linux Kernel is the kernel used by the Linux Foundation’s open source operating system, Linux. Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a contention condition issue. The vulnerability stems from a copy-on-write (COW) corruption in the memory subsystem’s handling of private read-only shared memory maps. A local attacker could exploit the vulnerability to gain write access to the read-only memory map, which in turn increases its privileges on the system.
