@Jesus_666 @kamstrup its my understanding that this actually hasn’t been patched in most distributions. The ubuntu statement says they released mitigations and disabled the kernel module affected but that patches will be released. according to a post on linkedin made yesterday and a video attached to it demonstrating the exploit on a current kali release it hasnt been fixed
Yeah, I turned out to be slightly misinformed. The kernel sources had a fix for a while now and fast moving distros like Arch immediately picked them up. But nobody except the kernel devs was told about the vuln and so nobody expedited deployment of a fixed kernel. Ouch.
