| [PLUG] ‘DirtyClone’ Linux Kernel Vulnerability Leads to Root Access |
‘DirtyClone’ Linux Kernel Vulnerability Leads to Root Access https://www.securityweek.com/dirtyclone-linux-kernel-vulnerability-leads-to-root-access/Now, JFrog explains that the flaw is a variant of DirtyFrag (also known as Copy Fail 2) and Fragnesia, which were addressed in mid-May. They share similarities with Dirty Pipe, a Linux kernel defect disclosed in 2022.
These memory corruption security defects affecting the Linux kernel’s core networking stack are rooted in how socket buffers (skb) reference shared page-cache memory, and can be weaponized using in-place cryptographic transformations in various subsystems.
