New Linux bug gives root on all major distros, exploit released.

A new Linux vulnerability known as 'Dirty Pipe' allows local users to gain root privileges through publicly available exploits.

Today, security researcher Max Kellermann responsibly disclosed the 'Dirty Pipe' vulnerability and stated that it affects Linux Kernel 5.8 and later versions, even on Android devices.

The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2022-0847 and allows a non-privileged user to inject and overwrite data in read-only files, including SUID processes that run as root.

Kellerman discovered the bug after tracking down a bug that was corrupting web server access logs for one of his customers.

Kellerman states that the vulnerability is similar to the Dirty COW vulnerability (CVE-2016-5195) fixed in 2016.

Wie Sie Ihr Linux-System mit Whoami anonymisieren

#Whoami ist ein umfassendes Toolkit, das eine laufende #Linux-Sitzung anonymisieren kann. Es enthält Skripte, die die echte IP-Adresse Ihres Rechners verbergen, die Standard-DNS-Auflöser ändern und Ihren Browser sichern können. Dieser Artikel wird Ihnen zeigen, wie Sie Whoami installieren und einige seiner Module ausführen, um Ihr Ubuntu-System zu anonymisieren.

Hinweis: Verwechseln Sie dies nicht mit dem Befehl whoami, der den Benutzernamen des aktuellen Benutzers anzeigt. Außerdem funktioniert Whoami für alle Debian- und Arch-basierten Distributionen.
