Maybe - See What A Program Does Before Deciding Whether You Really Want It To Happen

rm -rf pic Are you sure? Are you one hundred percent sure? ... allows you to run a command and see what it does to your files without actually doing it! After reviewing the operations listed, you can then decide whether you really want these things to happen or not. What is this sorcery?!? maybe...

Linux kernel elevation of privilege vulnerability (CNVD-2016-01042)

The Linux kernel is an open source, free operating system kernel originally done by Linus Torvalds. A security vulnerability exists in the kernel/ptrace.c file in Linux kernel 4.4.1 and earlier versions, which stems from the program's failure to properly handle uid and gid mappings. A local...

CVE-2015-8709

kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel through 4.4.1 mishandles uid and gid mappings, which allows local users to gain privileges by establishing a user namespace, waiting for a root process to enter that namespace with an unsafe uid or gid, and then using the ptrace system call. NOTE: the vendor...

CVE-2015-8709

CVE-2015-8709 affects the Linux kernel, specifically the code path in kernel/ptrace.c up to version 4.4.1. The issue arises from how uid and gid mappings are handled when establishing a user namespace, allowing a local user to gain privileges by waiting for a root process to enter that namespace ...
