Privilege Escalation

Linux kernel is vulnerable to privilege escalation vulnerability. This occurs in the 32-bit compatibility layer of the ioctl handling code of the v4l2 video driver in the Linux kernel. An attacker to overwrite a kernel memory from an unprivileged userspace process causing a privilege escalation...

The compatibility subsystem for running Linux applications allows the Windows Subsystem for Linux operating systems to enable attackers to elevate their privileges and execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability of the compatibility subsystem for running Linux applications stems from a numerical overflow. Exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to enhance their privileges and execute arbitrary code using a specially created application...
