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
the system.
