Testimonials
This turned out to be more of a training lesson in Security. ServerBuddies could have done it by theirself but was nice enough to chat me through it so I could understand exactly what was involved. They knew all the answers to my questions and were patient with me while I tried to finally get it. If you are looking for an excellent provider, you can’t go wrong with ServerBuddies. Thanks!

Important Dirty COW (CVE-2016-5195) exploit for Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL and CentOS

2016-10-29

Dirty COW (CVE-2016-5195) is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Linux Kernel.

A race condition was found in the way the Linux kernel's memory subsystem handled the copy-on-write (COW) breakage of private read-only memory mappings.

Impact

  • An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to gain write access to otherwise read-only memory mappings and thus increase their privileges on the system and gain root access instantly.
  • This flaw allows an attacker with a local system account to modify on-disk binaries, bypassing the standard permission mechanisms that would prevent modification without an appropriate permission set.

It's highly recommended to patch the system kernel in all Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS and RHEL distros to prevent system breakage.
