RCE in Linux Kernel via UDP packet
Ok, so most of you probably already know this:
https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2016-10229/ What do you think of this bug? I read a puzzling comment on one of the sec forums saying something like "it's not a bug, it's an NSA backdoor. A good programmer would never write a code in such a stupid manner. I really wonder why Linus would let such bug through." I am not a kernel, nor a C developer myself, so I can't really comment whether this is reasonable or just a buffoonery. What do you think? And my final question is, half a joke half seriously, why such a bug is not possible in OpenBSD kernel? Last edited by beiroot; 20th April 2017 at 03:17 PM. Reason: typo |
