---------- Forwarded message ---------

It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly separate certain
memory mappings when creating new userspace processes on 64-bit Power
(ppc64el) systems. A local attacker could use this to access memory
contents or cause memory corruption of other processes on the system.
