Linux Local Privilege Escalation via SUID /proc/pid/mem Write (zx2c4)Linux Local Privilege Escalation via SUID /proc/pid/mem Write (zx2c4)Posted Jan 26, 2012 19:47 UTC (Thu) by raven667 (subscriber, #5198)In reply to: Linux Local Privilege Escalation via SUID /proc/pid/mem Write (zx2c4) by dlang Parent article: Linux Local Privilege Escalation via SUID /proc/pid/mem Write (zx2c4)
It sounds as if the security implications were recognized later while the patch was being discussed, but I don't know if it had been merged into the linus tree by that point (if not, then it could have been tagged as a security fix, if it had already been merged than it was too late) I don't believe this to be true, the initial report was submitted to the security at kernel.org mail address as a local root exploit. The security implications were known from moment one.
