I found this double-fetch vulnerability when I was doing my research on double-fetch issue analysis, and I’d like to make an announcement here. 

This was found in Linux kernel file Linux-4.6/drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_dev.c, and crafted user space data change under race condition will lead to buffer overflow.
