NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debug-modules-internal package and not the kernel-debug-modules-internal package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernels memory deduplication mechanism. Previous work has shown that memory deduplication can be attacked via a local exploitation mechanism. The same technique can be used if an attacker can upload page sized files and detect the change in access time from a networked service to determine if the page has been merged.
