Copy Fail allows privilege escalation on Linux distributions. The root cause is due to an AEAD encryption bug, writing 4 bytes beyond the AEAD tag. I wish I could say more but I have never read the Linux kernel so this is too deep in the weeds for me. Would love to read a layman’s description of the problem. via /r/crypto https://ift.tt/riTbgh1
