Re: [arch-general] Linux Local Privilege Escalation via SUID /proc/pid/mem Write

[2012-01-24 10:41:10 +0530] Jayesh Badwaik:

I have just discovered this kernel exploit which allows a local user to obtain root priviliges. The detailed explanation is given at [1]. The patch has been apparently fixed in the kernel as of now (according to the blog post), but that update has not yet come into archlinux.

Yes it has; that's why linux-3.2.1-2 is out. -- Gaetan
