A new Linux kernel vulnerability dubbed 'Dirty Frag' has been disclosed publicly, including a working root-level exploit, before any patches are available and without a CVE assigned. The flaw enables local privilege escalation and is compared to the earlier 'CopyFail' vulnerability. The broken disclosure embargo has left system administrators exposed with no immediate remediation path.
