kernel: mm: privilege escalation via MAP_PRIVATE COW breakage

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...
