kernel: "Fragnesia" is a variant of Dirty Frag vulnerability in the ESP/XFRM leading to Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability in the Linux kernel

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem. Unsafe in-place cryptographic processing allows a low-privileged local attacker to write arbitrary bytes into the page cache of read-only files, including sensitive system files. An attacker can exploit this to overwrite privileged...

kernel: "Dirty Frag" ESP XFRM variant is a new universal Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability in the Linux kernel

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's xfrm-ESP and RxRPC subsystems. Unsafe in-place cryptographic processing of shared socket buffer fragments allows a low-privileged local attacker to corrupt page-cache contents of readable files, including sensitive system files, and gain root privileges. The...
