ID:6697 - Exploit for Integer overflow in Linux kernel - CVE-2021-33909

Link to public exploit:

Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow during size_t-to-int conversion when creating, mounting, and deleting a deep directory structure whose total path length exceeds 1GB. An unprivileged local user can write up to 10-byte string to an offset of exactly -2GB-10B below the beginning of a vmalloc()ated kernel buffer.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to exploit the our-of-bounds write vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
