A serious kernel vulnerability allows local
attackers to attain root privileges
A new exploit is out vmsplice Local root exploit. All Linux users
are advised to update. Debian has released a new package fixing the
issue. http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/487876 A friends of
mine static informed me that the
exploit
Doesn't rewt an updated CentOS. My debian system has proved
vulnerable. I was pretty much surprised when a friend of mine
called and said hey man try logging with your user "hipo" :). I
suspected something is wrong maybe he have changed my username
pass. Luckily he hasn't although later I was not able to login :).
He just tested the new exploit below on pc-freak. Luckily I have
such friends to remind me of a problems very early. I guess this
exploit is going to put a lot of havoc in the Linux world. But
yeash that's life. Today Plamenko the guitarist came home and was
my guest. We have downloaded some of hi (mountain clips) and put
them on DVDs. Later I drinked a coffee with arkadietz and static.
They were in an euphoria because of this exploit. I advice
everybody there to patch as fast as possible or expect surprises
