InfoSec researchers have found a new privilege-escalation vulnerability in Linux kernel that could allow an attacker to execute code on the affected system.
Venustech ADLab (Active-Defense Lab) researchers have discovered the Linux kernel vulnerability (CVE-2017-15265) is due to a use-after-free memory error in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) sequencer interface of the affected application.
After successful exploitation of this vulnerability (CVE-2017-15265) requires an attacker with local access on the targeted machine to execute this malicious application, which allows the attacker to elevate his privilege to root the targeted machine, a CISCO advisory have warned.
