Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
KEVHIGH 7.8EPSS 37.2%
Does this matter?
Known to be exploited in the wild (CISA KEV, CISA remediation deadline 15 June 2022). Treat as an emergency change: patch or isolate now, then hunt for prior compromise.
Description
The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.5 does not ensure that calls have two different futex addresses, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted FUTEX_REQUEUE command that facilitates unsafe waiter modification.
