arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel before 3.15.8 on the s390
platform does not properly restrict address-space control operations in
PTRACE_POKEUSR_AREA requests, which allows local users to obtain read and
write access to kernel memory locations, and consequently gain privileges,
via a crafted application that makes a ptrace system call.
