The Linux kernel before 4.8 allows local users to bypass ASLR on setuid
programs (such as /bin/su) because install_exec_creds() is called too late
in load_elf_binary() in fs/binfmt_elf.c, and thus the ptrace_may_access()
check has a race condition when reading /proc/pid/stat.

Notes

Author Note
tyhicks The fix for this CVE requires some AppArmor profile changes. Backporting the fix is risky because some applications may stop working. More investigation is needed to determine how to backport this fix safely.
