Local DOS exploit for the Linux kernel 2.6 series
« on: June 05, 2005, 06:00:39 pm »
Some guy named alert7 found an exploit in ioctl_by_bdev() for the 2.6 series:

Apparently it works up to and including 2.6.12-rc4.

Interesting.

I'll have to be upgrading when 2.6.12 comes out (if they patch it)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.
