Debian DSA-276-1 : linux-kernel-s390 - local privilege escalation

The kernel module loader in Linux 2.2 and Linux 2.4 kernels has a flaw in ptrace. This hole allows local users to obtain root privileges by using ptrace to attach to a child process that is spawned by the kernel. Remote exploitation of this hole is not possible. This advisory only covers kernel...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2003:038-1)

A bug in the kernel module loader code could allow a local user to gain root privileges. This is done by a local user using ptrace and attaching to a modprobe process that is spawned if the user triggers the loading of a kernel module. A temporary workaround can be used to defend against this fla...

linux kmod/ptrace bug - details

Hello There are many discussions on slashdot for example on the recent linux ptrace & kmod bug. I'll try to clarify what is this all about. It's a local root vulnerability. It's exploitable only if: 1. the kernel is built with modules and kernel module loader enabled and 2...
