&gt; The bug is a local privilege escalation vulnerability<p>not as bad as it could have been...<p>&gt; The use-after-free vulnerability originally appeared in the Linux kernel and was patched in early 2018 in version 4.14,<p>this happened because Google for some reason uses their own Frankenstein kernel. And this is not the first time it had lead to security issues
