Linux Kernel Vulnerability Allows Attackers to Escalate Privileges via Out-of-Bounds Write

Post by Shane1145 »

A recently discovered vulnerability in the Linux kernel, identified as CVE-2025-0927, poses a significant threat to system security.

This flaw, present in the HFS+ file system driver, allows attackers to exploit an out-of-bounds write condition, potentially leading to local privilege escalation.

The vulnerability can be triggered by manipulating a specially crafted HFS+ filesystem, which, under certain conditions, can overwrite sensitive data in kernel space.
