Upstream information
Description
The arch_pick_mmap_layout function in arch/x86/mm/mmap.c in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not properly randomize the legacy base address, which makes it easier for local users to defeat the intended restrictions on the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE flag, and bypass the ASLR protection mechanism for a setuid or setgid program, by disabling stack-consumption resource limits.SUSE information

Note from the SUSE Security Team
SUSE currently will not fix SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 and older products, as the ASLR support was incomplete in the 3.0 kernel and also legacy applications compatibility might be at risk.Note from the SUSE Security Team on the kernel-default package
SUSE will no longer fix all CVEs in the Linux Kernel anymore, but declare some bug classes as won't fix. Please refer to TID 21496 for more details. SUSE Bugzilla entry: 974308 [RESOLVED / UPSTREAM]SUSE Security Advisories:
