** Changed in: linux-lts-raring (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: New => Invalid

** Description changed:

- PIE bypass using VDSO ASLR weakness
+ The vdso_addr function in arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the Linux kernel
+ through 3.18.2 does not properly choose memory locations for the vDSO
+ area, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR
+ protection mechanism by guessing a location at the end of a PMD.
