Linux's Latest Vulnerability Allows Reading Root-Owned Files By Unprivileged Users

([Linux Kernel] 2 Hours Ago ssh-keysign-pwn)


Following [1]Dirty Frag , [2]Fragnesia , and other Linux kernel vulnerabilities making themselves known in recent days, the latest now is ssh-keysign-pwn.

With ssh-keysign-pwn, unprivileged users are able to read root-owned files. That affects all Linux kernel releases up through today's latest Linux Git state as of earlier today.

The ssh-keysign-pwn was reported by Qualys and fixed by the mainline Linux kernel earlier today. [3]This patch to adjust the kernel's ptrace behavior is what fixes the issue.

More details on ssh-keysign-pwn can be found via [4]this GitHub repository .
