Aug 07, 2024Ravie LakshmananLinux / Vulnerability Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a novel Linux kernel exploitation technique dubbed SLUBStick that could be exploited to elevate a limited heap vulnerability to an arbitrary memory read-and-write primitive. "Initially, it exploits a timing side-channel of the allocator to perform a cross-cache attack reliably," a group of academics from the Graz University of Technology said [PDF]. "Concretely, exploiting the side-channel leakage pushes the success rate to above 99% for frequently used generic caches." Memory safety vulnerabilities impacting the Linux kernel have limited capabilities and are a lot more challenging to exploit owing to…
