CVE-2016-3672 is a weakness in the Linux kernel x86 memory-layout selection logic, in arch_pick_mmap_layout(), affecting kernels through 4.5.2. For 32-bit applications, setting RLIMIT_STACK to unlimited selects a legacy memory layout whose base address is not properly randomized. This enables a local user to disable ASLR and defeats intended restrictions associated with the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE personality flag for setuid or setgid programs.
