Description Marcus Meissner 2016-12-09 08:38:34 UTC
CVE-2016-9120

Race condition in the ion_ioctl function in drivers/staging/android/ion/ion.c in
the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a
denial of service (use-after-free) by calling ION_IOC_FREE on two CPUs at the
same time.
