A vulnerability in the way
 

A vulnerability in the way the Linux kernel loads ELF files could lead to memory corruption and local privilege elevation. The flaw dates back to 2015, but was only recently classified as a vulnerability.

- [link to the bleeping computer magazine removed] Linux Kernel Bug Reclassified as Security Issue After Two Years

Neither of those links leads to the topics you're citing. However they seem to be technical magazines.

Please update correctly.

And both articles (found via Google search), indicate it was fixed in kernel 4.0, and some long-term distros (Red Hat, CentOS, Debian), have already released patches for the 3.x kernel issue.

So is there a particular point in posting these links, ravipradeep?

Nice...good catch! Wonder who the next winner is going to be on "Spot the spammer!"? :)

Carnegie-Mellon University hosts an official site that is specifically concerned with computer vulnerabilities:
