GhostLock: 15-Year-Old Linux Kernel Flaw Gives Any Local User Root in 5 Seconds
(threat-intelligence.redeyesecurity.com)
Since it's been there from 2011, any chance I can get root on my old android tablet with this?
It's been a rough few weeks for kernel vulnerabilities.
Would this affect a rootless podman container?
I read the article, or at least most of it and didn’t see anything that hints either way.
Seems to be more regarding specifically system authorized users able to elevate themselves to root.
Unless I am missing something?
It says it can escape containers so I assume it can
Yeah. Probably. Just wasn’t sure if the extra abstraction rootless is supposed to provide would affect it. I assume not.
