Submission + - New Linux bug gives root on all major distros, exploit released (bleepingcomputer.com)
curtisk writes: A new set of Linux bugs similar to earlier "Dirty Cow" vulnerabilities, coined "Dirty Pipe", allow attackers to overwrite or inject data in read-only files, including SUID processes that run as root. This effects all Linux distros on Linux Kernel 5.8 and later versions. Recent patches will mitigate this exploit, so get patching if you are not on the latest.
