GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

CVE-2015-1593 (GCVE-0-2015-1593)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2015-03-16 10:00 – Updated: 2024-08-06 04:47
VLAI
Summary
The stack randomization feature in the Linux kernel before 3.19.1 on 64-bit platforms uses incorrect data types for the results of bitwise left-shift operations, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by predicting the address of the top of the stack, related to the randomize_stack_top function in fs/binfmt_elf.c and the stack_maxrandom_size function in arch/x86/mm/mmap.c.
Severity
No CVSS data available.
