Description
This is a type of vulnerability in the kernel of the system itself. The kernel is not robust to the type of vulnerability. ASL includes a special kernel that is immune to these weaknesses. If you are getting a kernel weakness vulnerability alert on your system then you are not running a secure kernel like ASL.
This means your system is vulnerable to a whole class of attacks that can cause the entire system to become compromised.
Kernel Weakness Vulnerabilities
No Kernel Anonymous mapping randomization
No Kernel Heap randomization (ET_EXEC)
No Kernel Heap randomization (ET_DYN)
No Kernel Main executable randomization
