Discussion

Linux Kernel 'gfs2_quota' Structure Write Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability affecting the 'gfs2' file system.

Local attackers may be able to exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. Successful exploits will result in the complete compromise of affected computers; failed attacks will result in denial-of-service conditions.

Exploit / POC

Linux Kernel 'gfs2_quota' Structure Write Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

Local attackers can cause the kernel to crash using readily available tools.

Currently we are not aware of any working privilege-escalation exploits. If you feel we are in error or if you are aware of more recent information, please mail us at: [email protected].
