Linux < 4.20.14 - Virtual Address 0 is Mappable via Privileged write() to /proc/*/mem

By following the codepath that Andrea Arcangeli pointed out in his mails regarding the last bug I reported, I noticed that it is possible for userspace on a normal distro to map virtual address 0, which on an X86 system without SMAP enables the exploitation of kernel NULL pointer dereferences. Th...
