A new exploit technique targeting the Linux kernel has been discovered, posing a significant threat to many devices. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass mitigations like KASLR (Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization) and exploit uninitialized stack memory, leading to arbitrary code execution. The exploit leverages speculative execution and relies on a previously known technique to hijack control flow. This new method could affect a wide range of Linux distributions and necessitates urgent patching and security updates to mitigate the risks [Source]
