Linux Kernel Flaw Let Attackers Gain Full Root Access: PoC Published

Post by Shane1145 »

Security researchers have uncovered a critical vulnerability in the Linux kernel’s io_uring subsystem, which could allow attackers to gain full root access to affected systems.

The flaw, tracked as CVE-2024-0582, was found to be particularly exploitable in Ubuntu distributions due to a delay in patching despite the vulnerability being addressed in the stable kernel release in December 2023.
