| Linux has a big hole Dirty pipe “Most serious” Linux privilege-escalation bug Linux has yet another high-severity vulnerability that makes it easy for untrusted users to execute code capable of carrying out a host of malicious actions, including installing backdoors, creating unauthorised user accounts, and modifying scripts or binaries used by privileged services or apps. The vulnerability has been called Dirty Pipe and is the biggest hole disclosed since 2016, the year another high-severity and easy-to-exploit Linux flaw (named Dirty Cow) came to light as it was being used to hack a researcher's server. For those who can’t remember 2016 Dirty Cow could be used to root any Android phone, regardless of the mobile OS version. Eleven months later, researchers unearthed 1,200 Android apps in third-party markets that maliciously exploited the flaw to do just that. https://fudzilla.com/news/54500-linux-has-a-big-hole |
