What kernel versions are affected by this, difficult to parse from the page on a skim.
- PuffinBlue 3y agoFirst line of paragraph 2: Linux kernel 6.1 through 6.4
- _joel 3y agoCheers! I was looking for a table or something in bold
- amarshall 3y agoAlso at the end, the fixed versions: > These patches were subsequently backported to stable kernels (6.1.37, 6.3.11, and 6.4.1), effectively resolving the "Stack Rot" bug on July 1st.
- LoganDark 3y agoIt's not stated in the article whether this was because the vulnerability only affects 6.1 and up or because Linux only supports 6.1 and up.
- amarshall 3y agoSeems pretty clear, though the info is haphazardly scattered throughout the article. > The StackRot vulnerability has been present in the Linux kernel since version 6.1 when the VMA tree structure was changed from red-black trees to maple trees.
- jeffbee 3y agoWhy ask? There has never been a release of Linux without a known local privilege escalation bug. If you take the union of all known exploits, they cover the entire history of Linux. Knowing the interval of this flaw is pointless.
- _joel 3y agoBecause I'm curious as to when the affected code was introduced and if it affected older kernels that I run. Pure curiosity, mainly, as I know chances are it will have been patched. I still have PTSD from the Spectre kernel fun, so cut me some slack ;)
