New Linux glibc flaw lets attackers get root on major distros
-
Unprivileged attackers can get root access on multiple major Linux distributions in default configurations by exploiting a newly disclosed local privilege escalation (LPE) vulnerability in the GNU C Library (glibc).
Good thing no one uses that library!
Even safer, as it's the error logging that leads to the hack. Don't log errors, and you're safe!

Log? what's that? :laugh:
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
