"New SLUBStick Attack Makes Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities More Dangerous"

Researchers from the Graz University of Technology have published a paper on "SLUBStick," a new Linux kernel exploitation technique that makes heap vulnerabilities increasingly dangerous. The team pointed out that Linux kernel flaws have increased in recent years, but many have limited impact. The researchers showed that the new SLUBStick technique can elevate a limited heap vulnerability to an arbitrary memory read/write primitive, enabling privilege escalation and container escapes even with the implementation of modern defenses. This article continues to discuss the new SLUBStick Linux kernel exploitation technique that makes heap vulnerabilities more dangerous.
