Subject: Modprobe local root exploit
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 09:37:27 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20001113093727.C1918@xi.linuxpower.cx> (raw)
After seeing the modprobe local root exploit today, I asked myself why
kmod executes modprobe with full root and doesn't drop some capabilities
first.
Why? It wouldn't close the hole, but it would narrow it down.
