Hi,

A bug in Linux ASLR implementation for versions prior to 3.19 has been
found. The issue is that the mmap area for processes is not properly
randomized on some architectures.

Affected systems have reduced the mmap base area entropy of the processes by
half.

Hi Hector,

The timeline is not rendered properly on Google chrome browser or
mozilla firefox.





Could you please assign a CVE-ID for this?
